#1 of 5 My van shuts off in the rain by len8827 Sep 28, 2008 (4:30 am)
My 2000 CMC Safari will just turn off while i am driving in the rain. It is also hard to start some time in the rain. Can anyone help. Replies to this message: mklein1 (Oct 03, 2008 7:10 am) Steve_01 (Nov 22, 2008 1:17 pm) tonymaj (Aug 30, 2009 11:55 am) ddreier (Jul 18, 2009 6:28 am)

Replying to: len8827 (Sep 28, 2008 4:30 am) 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. Replies to this message: Steve_01 (Nov 22, 2008 1:17 pm) tonymaj (Aug 30, 2009 11:55 am)

Replying to: Steve_01 (Nov 22, 2008 1:17 pm) 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.
