My 1993 GMC Jimmy recently started not starting in and around when we have big rain storms. I replaced the fuel pump a few years ago, and just recently we replaced the ignition coil. The next day it rained, and it wouldn't start. I've also tried stuff to remove water from the fuel and spray-on stuff to dry off wire connections in the engine.

  Have you inspected the distributor cap and rotor for corrosion?
