86 turbo won't start after it rains

ok, youz guyzup in da bay area---my ttop turbo black z is still visiting in walnut creek/sacto area--and is again exhibiting signs of allergy to rain--about 2 days after a rainfall, the z will not start. does anyone else have this gremlin residing within your z??? and here i thought my car worked great--only because there is no rain in so cal--only in nocal.

Have you driven the car in the rain? Or even if it sits in the rain it won't start?

There's been a lot of threads in the 280zx section about water in the engine bay: https://www.zdriver.com/forums/showt...highlight=wash

i have driven it only x1 in the rain, misty rain, so it doesn't count. it seems like always 2 days after a decent rain no start---cranks like crazy, but will NOT start.

Check all the main sensor connections for moisture... TPS, MAF, CHTS. Also check for corrosion on the ecu connections... some di-electric grease is always good on connections.
