Question Won't start when it's wet

When it rains a lot, my car won't start.

I can get the car someplace dry, turn a hair dryer on the coil and the distributor and it starts right up.

Anyone else have this problem?

This problem is usually result of worn out spark plug wires, cracked distributor cap, cracked distributor rotor, or all of above. You should also replace the spark plugs w/ above parts. Total cost is about $150 worth of parts. You should have instant start afterwards.

good luck
