Hey guys, my civic was running perfectly normal 3 days ago and then we got a huge rain fall and i was driving it died and didn't want to start.. (last time it rained it did the same thing to me, but it decide to start back up and work fine..) I'm trying to figure out what could be the problem, the fuel pump primes up and everything so i don't think that could be the issue, the car is starting but very rough to the point where it could be starting on just 1 cylinder or all 4 but varies. it starts rumbles a little bit, or shoots up to 2.5k and dies.. I'm pretty stumped on the issue.. another thing i should mention was a i got gas during the rainy day, but i don't think the gas was bad. Car is a 94 eg hatch with a b18b1 swap. Any help i would really appreciate just trying to get back on the road so i can go to work thx!!

Also, Bad plug wires can cause this in the wet. Open hood at night and watch for arcing between damp wires. You can spray water on them if it's dry, but much easier to see the sparks at night. Just don't touch the wet wires while it's running

ill try those as soon as i can, another note the exhaust gas is a dark grayish/ black and it does shoot flames out on occasion I noticed this while my brother tried starting it

took apart my dizzy, looked at the rotor, coilpack, etc everything looks fine... reset the battery... car seems to be working normal right know.. the probably seems to happen only when it rains.. weird

How is the distributors cap gasket?

Also as mentioned, pop the hood, [at night] when it's running poorly and look for arcing from the plug leads.

Another thing to check is the spark plug "tubes", make sure there is no moisture or dirt/oil/crap down the tubes or on the plugs, [use compressed air to blow them out]. 94

is your ecu getting wet by chance???? move the carpet out of the way of the ecu when its raining and see if its wet down there.

ill check if the ecu is getting wet, and how would you check the wires for arcing.. just pull um out whille the cars running? the gaskets alright
