Truck wouldnt start, did tune up. Plugs wires cap rotor. Still wouldnt start, it was fuel pump, replaced it. 3 days later runs really rough when cold, fine when warm. A month into this thought maybe pump was faulty so I took it back got a new one, no change. Replaced throttle position sensor, prior to that removed the wiring harness and it ran fine, plugged in back in ran poorly, so I replaced tps, no change. Also when it rains it wont start 80% of the time please help!

Are you getting a good hot blue snapping spark to the plugs?

I havent checked for that. I know have determined it runs rough only when wet and or rainy outside. 3 in the afternoon it doesnt do it. Crack in cap? Crank sensor bad?

I am having the same problem with my 2000 silerado. Runs rough when wet, and if it sits over a 24hr period without starting it, it won't start. New fuel pump, fuel injector, plugs. Any ideas? Wiring shorting out from wetness?
