Water Dripping Down Old Cellphone Wiring Driver Side - Wet Start Issues 200 1992

I agree with everything that poster Trichard said.

There is not a whole lot on the drivers side that gets wet that will directly cause a hard start except the fuse panel in the door pillar. You would have to check for wetness in there.
The fuses get corroded rather easly even without water leaks.. Moisture from wet shoes can migrate there all on its on.

You did not mention anything about the spark plug "wires" including the coil wire. If you go crazy from here on out, it was not me that said anything on those other ignition things.

Out under the hood there is a couple other moisture sensitive items and it's the Crank Position Sensor. CPS.
Has it ever been replaced and does the cable for it look nice and healthly? It runs down behind the cylinder head at the firewall.

The other item to consider is the power stage amplifier that "cuddled" away behind the battery. The connector get very little maintenance attention. It's a middle man to the igntion coil getting fired!

Like Trichard said you need to "snoop and tell" a lot more for us to be worthy of your effort to seek help.

ARE YOU IN?
