WHY WON'T MY CAR START WHEN IT RAINS?



Sitting in the driver's seat of a car that won't start is never a good thing, especially during the rainy season. Be that as it may, how to know whether the issue is a simple fix, or whether to call a tow truck? Here are some of the most common issues:

    
DEAD BATTERY

A car battery may appear to become weaker as rainy day travels persevere. The indication could really be a symptom of the working conditions, rather than a direct response to the ample moisture. Traffic flow, electrical accessory activities, and charging system function, must be considered to understand this clouded phenomena


SPARK PLUG

The most common reason behind a car not starting in the rain is found in the spark plugs. Wire insulation can wear thin and this causes the voltage to arc to the metal of the car engine rather than going into the spark plug. You can check for this visually by opening the hood when it's wet outside and trying to start the car. You might be able to see an arc from the spark plug wires.


SHOT FUEL PUMP

Your vehicle’s fuel pump is what pushes gas from your tank to your engine. When your fuel pump dies, you’ll be able to crank your engine, but it won’t start. At that point, your lone option is to call for a tow truck.


DISTRIBUTOR CAP

The second most common issue is the distributor cap. Take a good physical examination of your distributor cap for any signs of cracks. Also, remove the distributor cap and check within it for dampness. If you find any, wipe it clean; it won't work while wet.
