Thia van will not start when it is raining. The van has a new distributer cap and roter bug, new brain, new hear sensor, new fuel pump and sparkplugs and plugwires. Nothing has helped, what is wrong with this thing?

Duplicate the condition and do below

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
