Car help..
#9
RE: Car help..
@StuW probably hit the nail on the head if your car's issues are related to the rain. Water and the CPU(ECM) don't mix well. It could also be an exposed wire on the wiring harness and (if you're lucky) maybe even just a bad ground (this is less likely on newer cars I suppose).

Of course, it could be unrelated and then you would need to divulge a lot more info. Color of the smoke from the exhaust? How does it run after it warms up? Does it surge or pulse? Smell anything sweet when it is running rough? Smell oily or overly gassy?
