I have a 93-940 2.3 Ragina with up front distributor. When it rains I have a hard time starting it. I have changed plugs, wires cap and rotor. Any suggestions? Thanks

Did you change the coil wire? I had one rip inside its mounting clip.

Next time it is wet (a very fine mist from a hose?) have someone try to start it in the dark while 7ou watch the engine - If your spark is getting loose, you might see the problem.

I would start with the basics...check the chassis ground and system ground.

And check for spark during the no-start. No spark is usually the well documented micro-corrosion between the coil and the integrated ignition amplifier or lost insinuation on the CPS.
