My car is....possessed. It used to not start well on humid or moist days. It rained really hard one night and stalled out a few miles away the next day. I checked it over after i towed it home, let it dry out. No start. I replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor no change. I checked timing, jacked with timing all over. I rebuilt my dizzy and ended up shelling out alot for a professionally rebuilt unit. I replaced coil and ignitor with known working parts. I checked wiring and the computer. All of this fixed nothing. I would just go out and try to start it ever day for 2 months. One day it started and ran. It's been running since, but still acts up every once in a while. I always keep it covered at night now.

Make sure all your grounds are good especially the ones on the intake manifold.
