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.
