Hmm...was the shirt on the passenger side right up under the dash?
I cant say for sure but ive heard of the same things happening if there isnt adequate airflow under the dash like that.
Let us know how you make out man.

Okay update...I unhooked the tube that goes from what I thought was the drain that goes to the air breather and water gushed out (nasty smelling) so obviously this is it? But from the factory, there is a tube hooked to it and I dont see how the water would escape if this tube was sealed (i figured the tube was there to draw a vacuum or something to draw the water/clean it)

If this isnt it, where is the drain? And all of yalls tube things are hooked huh?

That tube looks like the crankcase vent hose that hooks up the factory air box. What was the other end hooked too? If thats what it is then it shouldnt have water in it because it would probably go into the crankcase where your oil is.

The second pic is a/c drain and it shouldnt have anything on it.

I know where it goes now. It goes on the intake right behind the last coil pack on the left of the motor. i'll circle it on the picture you uploaded

Glad i could help but Thats crazy man! I was worried it was pushing water in the crank case but thats the part that was off. I sure hope it wasnt pushing the water into your air box or intake tube. Undoubtedly you would have notice it running bad if any of that water was getting through your throttle body. Its a good climb from that drain to the intake so maybe you got lucky.

Yeah you have a point. also I dont think it has enough vacuum in the tube to suck anything through that port so you should be good to go.
