Car Question
I'm a parts guy, but far from a mechanic. I have this 98 Lumina 3.1L. After a long rain and sitting overnight, it will cut out on acceleration. Doesn't die it just spits and sputters until I let off the gas a bit. Makes driving to work after a rainy night a bit of an adventure. After the rain we had yesterday, is just now dried out enough to be back to normal.

I'm thinking moisture's getting into the electrical system causing it to miss. Thought about plugs and wires... might have a cracked ignition coil?

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Mass airflow sensor is pretty new... I replaced it about 6 months ago.

Good enough. I'll bow out. Good luck.

That's ok. When it's missing out does the light flash?

Going to the lake anytime soon? A good scanner should be able to find the issue pretty easily. Obd2 system on a 98 it records mis fires.

No, the lights just always on. I work at a dealership and the only codes it shows are for O2 sensors.

Can they check the misfire data stream in real time on their scanner? should show the cylinders missing.

I thought that new only had one coil...

I have one of those too on my Dakota. It did go off for about a year but now it's back on. Something about my catalytic converter....it runs fine so I haven't concerned myself with it. A lot of that is just emission control bullshit, it's basically the EPA telling you that something needs fixed. **** them.

basically your downstream oxygen sensor isn't showing a drop enough compared to the upstream for the computer to think the cat is working correctly...

The light said to check engine, so I checked and it was still there. I think I'm good.
