93 F150 won't start when it's damp

thanks in advance for your help....

Any time it rains or snows and ever when there's a heavy dew, the truck won't start. as soon as the sun comes up and it dries out, it cranks right up.

I'm at a loss. ANY idea?

Welcome to FTE

Shot in the dark. Bad dist cap/wires. A little more info on what you have tried and engine info would be helpful.

Had the same problem with mine. Replaced the cap/rotor/plug wires, and all is well. Buddy of mine had the same problem/fix with his.

Hope this helps.

I too had this problem and fix. Unless you've just recently (in the past 6 months or so) had a tune up, try this first. It's easy and you'll want to do one anyway.
...and I bet this fixes your problem. If it doesn't tell us the symptoms and any work done so far.

i've been telling my husband that that's what's wrong.

perhaps he'll listen once i print these replies and leave them on his desk.
