Best Answer

If a vehicle won't start when it rains or is very wet, it is a clear sign that the ignition wire insulation is old and tired. As a test, you can spray the wires and distributor with silicone spray or WD40. These drive off the water and the engine should start. If I spray wd40 on how long do I wait before I try to start the vehicle

Why wont a 1999 dodge avenger start after it rains it just turns over and never cranks.?

Do you mean that it will crank and not start or fire when it rains? I do know that in earlier Fords I found to be a common occurrence and that the fix most people do not believe. The spark plug wires will fix the problem in Fords. One can test the high voltage system any way they want and the plug wires will show good. When dealing with 30000 volts (or whatever)you do not know what the high voltage is doing or the way it is acting. Try the cheap part first and change the plug wires.
