Intermittent problems. Damp?

Losing power might not be related at all to the weather as in damp, or it could well be.

In some ways you'd be better off if it died completely because intermittent faults are usally a nightmare to find.
Could there be a fuel starvation issue, anything from a dodgy pump to an almost blocked fuel filter to a piece of garbage floating round the fuel tank and getting sucked into the pick up.

If it also happens when washing the car I would be looking for where the scuttle drains go to & see if they are blocked, it could be water getting into vital electrical connections.

A bit vague, I know & I have no specific info on your car, but it fits.

If there was water ingress somewhere/electrics, I would expect there to be some, or many fault codes on a full vehicle scan.

So what are the results of this ?

And most automotive connectors do not simply fall out, they're designed very robustly and usually awkward to take apart. So if a connector like that had become unplugged...it would suggest someone has been in there and not refitted it correctly.

Pretty irrelevant engine codes. Although as air temp and MAP can be a combo sensor on some....might be someone has unplugged it at a time. Clear those codes and see what returns.

But I said you need to do a full vehicle scan, not just engine.
