Re: Car shuts off every time it rains and then won't start again!

Distributor is often the weak link in the Mitsubishi ignition system.

Why not run water over the hood for a few minutes while it's idling. If it stops, pull the distributor cap and see if there IS moisture inside. If so, wipe it out and try again. You may have a hairline crack; I'm surprised the "mechanic" didn't try a new cap instead of telling you to wait two days for it to dry on its own!

Or perhaps he just giving you an opinion without opening the hood to check his guess?
