I have a 1999 Pontiac Montana and after a heavy rain storm the service engine soon light in blinking continuously and the engine is running very rough with a lack of power. Once the car warms up after a few minutes the service engine soon light remains on and the van runs smoothly again. I am thinking maybe a cracked distributor cap or an emission problem. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Go to Autozone its a free public service and have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL/SES/MIL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.
