Hello there
I got a 106 1,4 from 1996.
The engine acts strange when the car has been standing in the rain.
It feels as if there is no ignition on all cylinders. It is nearly impossible to drive in the car.
The problem disappear when the engine gets hot.
Any suggestions?
Best regards
Johnny
This should be a fairly simple one, it sounds like you have damp in your ignition system or bad HT leads. It is likely to be the distributor cap, as it is likely it has a hairline fracture or something, also renew the ignition leads and try spraying a little bit of WD40 on the LT side of the circuit if you haven't already done so.
My general rule is, if WD40 makes the problem go away, then it probably needs replacing, you could try ignition sealer spray as a temporary fix.
