This is the second time that Ive had cylinder #7 misfires following a rain storm. If it doesnt rain for a while and I drive the car, its fine. Also I dont drive the car but once a week.
What should I look for? Its definately #7 according to my scan guage.

Well I found something interesting. Popped the hood. Now ive never changed the plugs or wires on this engine yet. The #7plug wire was so loose on the plug that it just slipped right off when I touched it. I put it back on, made sure it was tight, started the engine, revved and held it at 2krpms...no misfires. Imagine that, you need a connection between the wire and plug for spark![Twak](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/twak.gif)
