Trouble starting after rain HELP

[bradgotti]

Every damn time it rains my '91 Cam doesn't want to start and then after it starts it runs bad and acts like it wants to stall out and sometimes the engine actually does die if I don't lay on the gas. Anyone else have this problem...Any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.

you've probably got something cracked in your ignition system, probably the distributor cap, but could also be the wires or the coil

Cracked coil.

Don't wanna sound like an idiot, but I'm kinda new to the Toyota repair world...but where exactly is the coil on a '91 Camry 4cyl.? I checked the cap and wires and they are all good BTW

i don't know for gen 2's but its probably on the driverside inside fender

you can also just follow the center wire of the distributor back to the coil

If you haven't found the culprit yet, raise the hood, and start the engine in a dark place, or at night and look for stray sparks.

It should show you what is cracked and in need of replacement.
I would suggest strained points, like wire/boot junctions. Boot connectors on the coil pack, and any wire guides.

On my 89 cavalier, I sprayed it with grease and that insulated it enough to run.

Its on the bottom of the distributor.
