Hey guys first time here, hopefully you guys know, ive sent it in multiple times and nobody knows. Anyways here's the deal if it's raining or damp the electric light pops up and the engine becomes very delayed and slowed or the oil sign pops up and the car will all together stall, doesn't matter if im going 10mph or 80 it stalls up and I have to restart the engine. also when it gets real wet the car shakes, i believe a piston misfires and goes off sequence.

I've replaced sparkplugs, wires, and sprayed them all in silicon. Didn't help

Thank you, hopefully somebody knows.

If it stalls warning lights will light and are not info for finding this fault IMO. If just damp is enough to cause this perhaps try some slightly salted water in a spray bottle on cooler engine while running (cooler so you don't shock anything hot) and one by one just mist suspect areas and items especially anything to do with ignition.

May not be just high voltage things. If it can be duplicated that way to misfiring you may see some arching if a bit dark when tested. Troubles codes may be telling or sensing some error and wouldn't hurt but if real shops have already not found it, it may not have a code pending.


When a tech gets an intermittent something that just will not misbehave at all it is difficult at best,
