Hi All
You can laugh if you want, because most people do. But my civic won't run in the snow or rain (and I live in Maine, so thats a problem). Now not only will in not run, it won't start. The engine turns over and gets gas, so I think that it has something to do with the distributor. Maybe a distributor wire exposed?? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

yep, sounds like moisture is causing a ground and not letting your car get spark. open the hood at night and have a friend crank it over while u look at the motor, look for sparks. oh ya do it while its moist out... or u can take a spray bottle with WATER, make sure its nothing flammable.... lol, and spray it on the engine nd look for it grounding out anywhere.
