Dave,

Check the wires leading to your oxygen sensor. Ours kept getting wet and shorting out during a trip to the Black Hills.  I've since resealed the splices and can drive thru the hardest rain with no problems.  Good Luck!!!

Subject: [VANAGON] Help with wet weather cut out problem

My 87 Westie has developed a problem.  After the engine is warmed up and if
it is wet out (raining) the engine will cut out.  Turning the ignition off and
restarting solves the problem for a few miles and then it cuts out again. This
is not a problem in dry weather only in wet weather. Any suggestions? Coil?
Plug wire?  Dist. Cap?

Any suggestions appreciated.
