i have a 1985 toyota corolla...
the problem started a while ago in wet weather when the car wouldn't start..and it would stall out too
i waited a little while (10-15 min) and the car started.
i spoke with a few people and they all said that it was somthing to do with moisture gettting into the ignition coil....
my questions are :
1 is that right that in wet weather it can effect the ignition coil or cause the car not to start.
2 if so..what can i do to solve it (i'm on a bargain)
3 if that's not the issue then what can it be....and how can i solve that issue.
thank you

I have not heard of igntion coil problems in wet weather..
I have seen problems with spark plug wires and distributor caps in moist weather, though. Have you changed these things first (including the wire from the ignition coil to the distributor)?
