Default Jeep Won't start

My Jeep Grand Cherokee won't start on damp dewy mornings, just cranks like the coil wire is missing. Fires up fine in the afternoon like nothing's wrong.......any suggestions?

welcome to df...

check your coil, sounds like it's got an issue. one thing you can do when it's damp out and it wont start is to put a hot air blower (hair dryer) on the coil and heat it up... if it starts, that's your problem, if not, go to the cap & check for the moisture.
