Good advice Jeff, I had a Yamaha that was like this, I finally had to spray the entire electrical system with a silicone based water repellent, that fixed it.

I would suspect bad spark plug wires; they leak worse when damp or wet. Bad coil wire for example, can leak so much that the spark never gets to the distributor.
Generally, I have found that good high voltage (plug/distributor) wiring will even work well with a hose spraying water on them; whereas, bad wiring will cause miss or even a stall.

You can watch the wiring at night and bad wires frequently show up with a glow or spark [stay clear to avoid belts, fans, etc.] I have also run a grounded screwdriver along each wire. However, if one is bad --- replace ALL of them.

Well i tell u that i have had cars and trucks that do this! Why i am not sure . Check and make sure that the seal is around the back part of the hood Is not displaced . (above the distributor) If water is leaking directly on to it that could be your problem! Also make sure the cap is good ! Need more info? So let me know if i can help!! good luck

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeff_24365d731679262d

1999 Chevy astro van won't start

Had the same issue with our 1999 chevy astro van, would crank but would not start. It had been raining and windshield had a leak, after 2 days of no rain it started. Pulled codes and was the Security system in the ignition switch. Hope this helps.

1997 chevy s-10 6cyl won't start with new battery. Engine turns, but it won't crank.

crank no start? I would check for fuel pressure on these models, the fuel pump module is quite often repalced. Then I would check ignition cap and rotor. Cap get white with corrosion and rotor green.

1997 Nissan Pickup Won't Start in very High Humidity

Sounds like there may be water or condensation entering your distributor cap. Cheap fix and might be obvious if you inspect its inside.. look for corrosion or moisture.

1997 Chevy S-10 6 cylinder all of a sudden cut off and won't start back. It will turn over but seems like is not getting gas or is not firing one.

probably a fuel issue on this one. get a big hammer and have someone crank the vehicle whikle you bang the bottom of the tank. If it tries to start-suspect fuel pump.
