Won't start when and after it rains
Hello all,
My 95 Civic has an issue with water and/or moisture.
Like the title says, it won't start when and after it rains.
Funny thing is the hood is closed and the stuff under it appears dry.
If I wait a few minutes, the engine light will finally go off (with a little mechanical sound and click like the fuel pump priming), and only then I can start it.
If it doesn't rain and the light is on, it starts right away.
I've recently changed the dist.cap, rotor, coil, wires and plugs for a tune up. Same problem persists.
When it rains, I need to leave plenty of time to allow the wait needed to start.
It's a real nuisance when I'm in a hurry to get to work because it sometimes takes up to 10 minutes with the ignition ON until I hear the sounds and the light go off.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanx in Advance!
