SOURCE: car stalls in wet weather

Take a look at the ignition system, most likely there are coils and ignition wires on this car, but don't quote me on it. However, this is very likely on a seventeen year old car.
Anyway, if the wires are more than four or five years old, it might be a good idea to replace them as moisture tends to get into the insulation and cause a misfire or stall. (I had this problem with my '89 Tracer and it drove me nuts). Another issue is check the ignition coils and make sure there are no cracks as these will less moisture in and cause a misfire.

The rain water is fouling the old coil wire, replace the ignition wires.

You can either replace the seal or hose, or use silicone and seal any leaks or gaps

Steps to take and things to check before replacing fuel pump 98 chrysler town and country lxi 3.8

. After having the oil changed it rain rough ?????? rain rough ??? RAN rough . Who changed the oil ? I'd be looking to see what they did wrong before thinking about a fuel pump issue . I'd would also hook up a scan tool an check sensor data input's to the engine computer , check for code's etc..... Your best bet mite be to have a qualified repair shop check it out , before you start replacing parts needlessly .

How do I disengage TCC on 1989 Chevy Caprice?

What has happened more than likely, unfortunately, the internal piston seals on the servo controls have gotten hard and not usable after this period of time sitting still. The answer is to remove and replace all the seals inside the transmission. Sorry this is the answer, but that is from my 35+ years experience in trans. overhauls. You should not have to replace clutches and plates, also make sure there is no rust on the internal drums from sitting still.

Stalls when rains

Depending on the year, it's likely bad wires or a bad distributor cap. You can recreate the problem when it's dry by filling a squirt bottle with salt water and spraying the wires with it while the truck is running. You'll either get a nice light show or it will start to stumble/stall.

1997 vw jetta stalling when raining

The problem in the Jetta could very well be with the ignition coil. I had the same problem for a long time and tried the usual replacing plugs, wires, etc, but nothing seemed to work.

It ended up being the ignition coil which over time, managed to sustain very small cracks. Even a small amount of moisture would cause all sorts of problems.

I replaced the ignition coil and had no problems after that.

Stalling problems

Remove the raidator cap while running or watch the overflow tank for bubbles. If you see bubbles either way, most likely your cause of the overheating is a leaking head gasket. If you have a cooling system pressure tester, pump up the cooling system and see if it looses pressure, if it doesn't hold pressure, again bad head gasket.
