Question: truck won't start

My truck won't start when it rains or snows. This only happens when the truck is sitting on my gravel driveway. The engine sounds & acts like it wants to start but it doesn't. I have pushed it into my garage and got it out of the weather and then it will start. I had the distributor cap/module replaced in May of this year.

    Hi,
    Were you able to fix the no-starting problem? I've seen a few throttle sensors cause issues, but they normally set a code in the engine module. do you have any codes stored?
