moisture problem no start/stalls
ok i got a 94 f 150, 5.0L, now when ever it is humid out or it rains the truck will not start , or if im driving and it starts raining the truck will die eventually. its like theres a wire thats getting moisture in it causing the truck to die. after it dies it wont start until you leave it sit for a few hours (probably after whatever is gettin moisture in it drys). when the truck is dead it turns over fine its, getting spark to the plugs its getting fuel to the rail but i dont have to tools to see if the injectors are firing.
ive tryed to make it die by pouring water on the distributor, and spraying most wires/connections but everytime i do it, it wont die and when it does die ive already got too many things wet to pinpoint whats killin it
has anyone ever had this problem? or is this a common problem? my guess is not any help/advice would be greatly apperciated thanks

Just a WAG but you could check to see if water is getting in or around the fuse box under the hood (if you do have one). Inspect it real good, I had an older truck that did what you mentioned. It had a wire on the back of the fuse box that was not connecting propperly.

ya thanks i actually found the coil arcing out of the side. so hopefully thats what it was.
now i have a different problem when i go to start the truck in the morining it doesnt wanttostart very good it runs really rough for a few seconds then clears up and idels fine. but when you give it any throttle it wants to die. it does this for about 5 mins then clears up and runs good all day. but if i let it sit for a few hours and go to start it it does it again
