Default Water and rough running.

Suddenly getting what looks like a lot of condensation from the exhaust area (approximately) and rough running. Coolant level is good. Thanks

Would be worth using OBD live data.
Get engine warmed up and then park.
Check whether running OL (open loop) or CL (closed loop).
If CL, watch fuel trims. What are they and how steady?
If unsteady or not near zero, rev to about 2500 and are they steadier / nearer zero?

Thanks JagV8, however I am currently picking up the pieces of the Palisades/Malibu fire, a bullet we thankfully essentially dodged. All I can say at this point is it seems to smooth out at higher RPMs. The only other thing I can say is we just went through a massive change in humidity overnight -- and the air is full of crap. Thanks

Hopefully you and your family are all safe!

If the vehicle was sprayed with fire hoses, it may be best to open the bonnet and let everything dry out. If there's a misfire, don't drive the vehicle if the MIL begins to flash or catalyst damage is the result.

Stinking rats. Hopefully the wire colors are still visible for easy repair. I had to do a few splices on my car because of wire rot. Jaguar did not give much slack in the harness

I've been using some of those "sticky" traps and caught what looks like a baby kangaroo! Wires were fixable.
