    I will try to keep this short!
    I have been having trouble getting my truck to start over the last two months!
    It has been starting fine the last three weeks until this morning after we got a hard rain last night!
    What would the rain affect and cause this problem?
    It cranks and cranks but will not start! I would really really appreciate any feedback and help on this problem!
    Thank you

    I had a jeep that would do the same thing with any moisture. It ended up being a crack in the coil.

    I was going to suggest the same thing. I'm wondering if you have a bad coil pack.

    I had a similar issue with a blocked IAC valve. When it rained, it would not start without my foot on the gas. It would stick more with moisture in the air. Cleaned it out and no more issues.

    Thank you all!
    I sprayed the coils down with a spray bottle and the truck wouldn't start. I waited for it to dry off and then it started. I repeated the process and it kept doing the same thing so I replace the coil's and everything appears to be working properly at the moment.
