RPM dropping intermittently during warmup
I am having an issue with the rpm signal that is intermittent, but seems more frequent lately. The problem is either there or it is not during the extent of my drive, but significantly worse during warmup when it is. Looking at logs, it is being caused by major rpm drops that make it feel like fuel cut launch control (because it is cutting fuel), except much more harsh. The symptoms seem to suddenly turn on after a certain degree of throttle position or engine load is present.
Today when I got in my car to go home from work, I had to drive between 1000 and 2000 rpm at first because after 2k it would completely cut out fuel and fall on its face. By the end of the drive, I was able to rev it a little over 4k, but only with light throttle. At any time, I could have induced the stumble by pressing the gas moderately hard, regardless of RPM.
Help me to figure out why this is happening, my msq and a datalog are attatched.

Well i didn't have any problems for a few weeks, but this morning the car wouldnt start and i decided to look at the megasquirt. There was some condensation on the case, and I wouldnt be surprised if there was a bit inside as well. Took the board out, cleaned it with some alcohol and a toothbrush, blow dried it and now it's working fine. I think the problems correlate with periods when it has been raining.
