Re: SES light only when it rains

I would start checking for a cracked distributor cap. This will cause you fits. Also check the wiring coming from the ignition module. If there are any breaks in the insulation, it will allow moisture to enter the wire. I am leaning towards a cracked distributor cap. Pull it off and see if there is any moisture under it. If there is, thats your culprit.
