Engine cuts out during heavy rains. This started

That often has to do with emissions problems. Has it been raining lately? The check engine light on my Saturn will come on when the humidity is high after heavy rains.

This is most likely happening due to water splashing up onto your serpentine belt causing it to slip and not spin the alternator fast enough.

A possible reason as to why this occurs not and not before could be a worn belt.

Having this happen won't really hurt anything, just dont rev the engine during the drying process as you might throw the belt off.

If the check engine light is on have it scanned at Auto Zone to pin point the problem. If the check engine came on then went off it stored the code in the computer you can still pull it up.

If you lift your hood, check the wires that are for your windshield wiper fluid, I had the same problem and because the wires were being pressed against the molding water was able to drop down onto the engine. When ever it rains really hard felt like the truck was going to cut off. But when the sun was out my baby would pur like a kitten.

If Gas mixes with water, combustion is impossible. Not only is the fuel bad, the lines and spark plugs are messed up. Water will also mess up the electrical lines and the cars computer.
First, get some gasoline drying solution. That takes a day or two to work. When the water is removed from the gas tank, add fresh 100% gas. Pull all the spark plugs and clean the ends and check the gap for proper distance. Make certain the plugs are clean and dry before you reinsert them into the ports. Dry and clean all spark plug wires. Check you battery also. It should not have corrosion on the poles. If they have a coating, clean them and make perfect contact with the power cables. Try to start the engine now. Good luck.

well i would start buy geting the rain water of the top of motor so i would start at hood seal if bad but new hood seal in you may have to go to dealer for it then if the spash gard is missing under car i would replace it with new one then see if car hard to start next time it rain should have no water at top of motor can couse all typ of isuse hope this helps

I have an 85 fj60 that keeps cutting out. the catalytic converter has been removed, the fuel filter is new. As soon as the engine is relatively warm, the engine cuts out when accelerated..... any suggestions?

I have a Range Rover 2006 and suddenly under heavy rain the wipers atrat going very fast and quit working, I change the speed and work again but after a minute the wipers quit. And I can not find the problem . Somebody can help me?

i did have problems with my car not starting in the rain. after changing the distributor cap and HT leads it still. My last thing to try before taking it in was to change the ignition coil. I ordered a new and installed it and it started right up! it has rain a couple times since then and it's still starting! so i'm hoping it keeps working. hope this helps anyone.
