Default My car's weird as ****(won't start in the rain)

For some reason sometimes when it rains my car won't start, i mean it cranks but it won't turn over. It really only did this after i got in an accident (front end collision) and had to put a new hood on that is a little bent up/doesn't have the best fit. I was just wondering what could possibly be getting wet under my hood that's making it do this??? thanks

oh yea, its a 91 crx si

Most probably. Maybe water is getting in your ignition components (dizzy and such). It might be componded by the fact that maybe your plug wires are not as good as they should be so dampness makes them short out.. Next time it rains, look under the hood to spot water..

Yea i forgot to mention this before but the rubber sealing that lines the top of the firewall is just barely hanging on really loose/basically doing nothing, could anything near the top of the hood/firewall be getting wet and causing my car not to start?
