Hi Guys,

Got a 1995 940 B230 with 140k with what I think is a rain/moisture problem.

Today on the drive home, she died and simply would not start. This happened about a week ago, and a few other times in the last year.

The engine dies, only when driving in rain/damp conditions. I replaced cap, rotor, and wires about a year ago. When it dies, it dies INSTANTLY. Then, it starts back up after 15-20 minutes, idling fine. However, it dies when you apply throttle. After idling about 10 minutes, it runs fine. I suspected something getting wet, as it only happens when damp conditions/rain are part of the situation. It also happened when I pressure washed the engine.

This time, it simply will not start. I had it towed home, put in my tiny garage, and I cranked up Qty 2 Salamander Kerosene ‘torpedo’ 50,000 BTU heaters. It was 110 degrees F in the garage for about an hour this evening.

My plan was to smoke out the water issue, but it still will not start.
I checked the timing belt, and it is ok.
Any other ideas? It cranks fine and everything looks ok.
I am stumped. Any other ideas?
I also turned out all the lights while my wife cranked the ignition, and cannot see any spark grounding out.
