This 98 chevy c1500 was hesitant to start when it rains. It also wold start running rough if it starting rain during use and would give a code that says misfire on one or more cylinders. It rain a couple of days ago and now it won't start at all.

Misfiring can be caused by worn or fouled plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.
