94 Beretta won't start in hard rainstorm

Thursday and Friday the damn thing wouldn't start. Hopped in it Monday and it fired right up.

 

Is it possible that water is getting to the motor? Any ideas where to look?

 

It has a 2.2 4-banger with 164k on it. Runs great except when it has sat in hard rain.

 

Thanks.

i'd lean towards igniton as well

start your car when its running well and get a squirt bottle, spray towards the coil packs and watch for arcing. usually craked plug boots or cracked coils.

good luck

 

 

kind of hard to do with the coil's on the back of the block, under the intake.

unless this is one of the one's thats mounted on the side of the head!

Get a can of "wire dryer" from an autoparts store and spray it all over the ignition stuff. It will evaporate all the water on the wires and stuff and it should not have that problem in the future. You may need to treat it a few times a year if its bad enough. I use this stuff on trail rides when someone totally soaks there distributor cap and there usually running 1 minute after I spray it on.
