your TB must have a decent sized leak in it
you must have filled your intake manifold, as it is chambered to 8 runners
your intake valves must have some nasty leaks on them
if all is the case... then a wet air filter isn't the only problem.
a wet air filter will still have webbing that is open to the air.... plus you should have more than enough compression to pull air through any thin layer of water that may build up on the filter.

Wow your amazing, go soak a sponge until its sopping wet. Put your lips on it, suck in, see how much air you get....
My air filter was SOPPING WET,
In order for a car to start it needs fuel, air, and fuel. WATER even trace amounts in the fuel makes it difficult to start the car,
Again, pour some gas on the ground put some water in it, stir it around, try to light it....
Put some seafoam in your car, while its not running, try to start it....
See here is the thing, the car draws air THROUGH THE AIR FILTER, if there is water in the air filter the car will INHALE IT! The same way as if your lips are smack dab up against a sponge. I dont know how I can break it down anymore than that....
You must be right, a wet air filter cant be a big deal, because NOBODY ever talks about covering it up and keeping it dry right?? Because the only reason I want mine dry is because I want a ton of carbon build up, not because I have problems starting my car...
Yeah my intake valve leak like crazy also when I crank the car, because they suck in all kinds of air, matter of fact now that you say that my throttle body has a HUGE hole in it, Im gonna go patch all that up...
