Missing in the rain

Runs fine 90% of the time but when it rains or is damp out misses very bad. Has new plugs and plugwires. After reading the cpu get error p1131 and error p1132 which is the 02 senser. Question is would the 02 senser make it miss fire. Being that it miss fires when its wet out side makes me think its the coil packs but i am no mechanic, any suggestions? TY

    O2 senser actually detects the air and fuel mixture. thereby when the air is heavy the mixture become fuel heavy.

    check the mass air flow meter.

O2 sensor mixes the difference of fuel and air. i would think u probably need a new coil pack or distributor cap.

Misfire cyl 5 have replaced plugs, plugwires, cap and rotor with top of the line to cheap parts only only does this when it rains or snows?

check for a problem in the injector wiring for that cylinder
check for corrosion in the connections
replace that injector control
injectors cause more misfires than plugs and associated electric do

Check your plug lead or your coil pack for cracks.

Starts hard when it rains

cover the distributor cap with plastic and the high voltage coil.

with a damp environment, high voltage usually jumps to the nearest ground and would not go to the spark plug.

you can test this at night when it is damped and raining, at night, let some body start the car for you and you watch the engine compartment without light so that you can trace where the spark is jumping out.

tnx 4 using fixya,
