Q: When i try to drive when the car has been sitting in the rain the car wants to stall out. for example last night it thunderstormed and when i went to leave, when i put it in gear and hit the gas, the car started to move then started bogging down and the lights were all dimming down. once i stopped the car the idle went back to normal. every time i tried to go from a stop it would want to stall just like that. also in gears 1-3, once the RPM's got to about 2k that same bogging down happened again. its almost as if its getting stuck there until i give it enough gas for the motor to take off. (obviously in the rain this is a problem). I dont know if the problem is in the motor or trans but is there anything i should be checking out?
A: Make sure all electrical connections are clean and tight. Next make sure the ignition system: plugs, wires, cap, rotor are in good shape. After that check fuel system for clean and working fuel injectors, fuel filter, fuel pump pressure and volume. Your problem does not sound like a transmission issue. Good luck.
