I have a 1997 Chevy S-10 that is really the third car in our family. It was used everyday until two months ago. Now I started the car drove two miles and it stalled at 30 miles per. I pulled over and it cranked but would not start. I left it and returned an hour later and it started. It had rained the day before. I used the car for the next two days no problem. It rained I get in the car the next morning it won’t start. It is a sunny day it starts I put 200 miles on it. It snows over night it won’t start.

First take off the distributor cap and check to see if there is any moisture in there on wet days. If its wet check for cracks in the cap.
