Car looses power while rain

[bliz07]

well i own a 93 ex and i never had problems with the car, i always do the tune up on time i recently changes the spark plugs and wires dist. cap and rotor and fuel filter, now two days ago when it was raining the engine hesitated while accelerating for a few minutes then it never happened until today it was rainning again and same thing happened any suggestions?

is your distributor cap down tight? because that might have be letting moisture in and that'll interfere with it's functions.

yeah, I noticed something similar to that as well. Not anything too big but a slight power loss was noticed. maybe humidity and lack of air suction?

not sure if this would make things worse but what happens if we decide to put a little, a thin layer, of rtv sealant/silicone around the base of the cap and then tighten it down. maybe that would help seal out some of the moisture?

even though your wires are new, it doesn't mean that they're not perfect. its likely that your wires are bad. when its raining at night, open your hood while its running and see if you get and 'arching' between the spark plug wires or anywhere ignition related. revving the car a bit would also aggrivate the problem.

Yea I checked and nothing its dry when I installed the cap I put a new gasket too

I know its going away from the engine completely but how are your tires? If they're bad maybe you just feel that you have no power and they're just slipping.

condensation/moisture + distributer =
