    Van will not start when its raining.
    We have a 1998 Ford Windstar that only when it rains has trouble starting. It will start for a second then die, we have to keep trying for twenty minutes or so and eventually it will start, but its very frustrating. Any Suggestions what the problem could be. :confused:

It's raining outside, what to do to get in shape? [ 10 Answers ]
