I have a 96 S10 2wd 4.3. After it rains, I have a really hard time getting it started afterwards. It turns over, it just will not start. I have a pretty new battery, but that will soon start playing a part, and will eventually run the battery down.

Any suggestions? Anyone else had this problem?


thanks

Does it have the stock air cleaner assembly?

Take a spray bottle just as it is getting dark outside and mist the engine,then look for a light show. I suspect that your plug wires are arching.

I geuss i would start with the basics and go from there check all your ignition components, cap,rotor,wires and plugs, try a better grade of gas maybe, run your codes if those are good get those out of the way first

great advise MD,once i chased a problem for weeks to come to find out that the wires were getting a little warm and did indeed give me a show and yes i was stupid enough to move around wires while truck was running .....that's about how my face looked
