Hi,
93 GXE, auto, 175k. The car was garaged for years but due DIY construction now sits outdoors.After a shower of rain, nothing heavy, it fails to start. Engine spins but will not fire. Once the rain has stopped, if I open the hood and leave it for a while, it will start. I am asuming that the electrics get wet and openning the hood allows water to evaporate, solving the problem.
Related info: While it was still garaged, I know that if I open the hood and hose down the engine compartment it usually will not start, and I can make it start by drying it out with my leaf blower.
I don't expect the car to sart after being hosed in the engine compartment but I do want it to start after a shower of rain. Suggestions for a cure please.
