wet weather starting issue
I've researched this forum and can't find a concrete solution to my problem. I have a 1999 Dakota 2wd with the 3.9 V6 Magnum.
My issue is when it's cold and wet the engine will crank and not start. It'll start just fine when it's dry outside. I've replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. Have not replaced the coil yet, that's next.
I use to have a 2001 Ram with the same motor and had the same issues. My questions are, is this a problem that all Dodge trucks have or is it just that particular motor and how do I correct it?
Thanks for any and all help

I had same issue on my recently aquired Dakota. Reading through different threads instead of trouble shooting the issue I threw money at it. I replaced wires, distributor cap & rotor, coil knowing it hadn't been done. For me that solved my issue it runs so much better and cranks over in the rain. Sounds like you've replaced the same things maybe your issue lies with that coil. I know I read other posts mentioning it.
