will not start
Hello all.
i own a 02 dakota with a 3.9 v6 engine that will not start when wet. i thought it was getting moisture so i changed cap, rotor button, and wires. when i changed the cap i noticed the TAB was broke off on the pick-up coil so i also changed that and it still will not start when it gets wet. sometimes if i use starter fluid it will start but not all the time. The last time it did run it had a hesitation when i put the gas down.(it is a standard 5 speed) anyone have some ideas cause i am fed up with this thing
thanks in advance for your help.

RE: will not start
I don't know what to do about it. Mine is a '00 3.9 5-speed, and it always starts, but whenever it's raining outand i drive through a big puddle, it makes a sputtering/knocking sound almost like it sounds when you're in too low of a gear, which is not the case. So, I'll be watching this thread for any similar advice too.

RE: will not start
finally put battery in the truck and had it towed to the garage.... turns out they found two things wrong. For some unknown reason the dist. cap will not sit tight on the shaft so we put a little goop on it and now its tight..... Second they found even though the wires were NEW they were bad ... was not getting spark at number 1 and 6 cylinders.... thanks to those of you who gave me advise...after it was all said and done i put 320 dollars in this thing
