I have a 1998 ASTRO van, this is my second one with the exact same issue. If its humid or raining outside it refuses to start. I have changed the coil, wires, distrubiting cap, rotor and plugs. Nothing seems to work, it cranks over fine and I can hear the fuel pump running. I'm thinking others have ran into the same issue since this is the second van that has done this to me. Please help this is driving me crazy. Thanks Dan.

Ona hot dry day.

Start vehicle and pop hood.

Take a salt water mixture and slowly spray each part of the electircal system. When you see the electricity arc or vehicle start to run weird you ahve found the component causing your problem.
