My van shuts off in the rain

Sorry, mine did the same thing. It only got worse. Good fuel pressure. New ground wires... Good coil. New distributor. now it won't even run. Looking forward to the answer you get.

97 Astro doing the same thing. I'm pretty sure it's the ignition wires. Just ordered new ones, I'll update you after I install them.

My van shut off in the rain also. It was the ignition coil shorting out to ground. I found the problem by misting the whole area with a spray bottle while the engine was running and the dog house removed. The tower had a hairline crack.
