Wet weather cause Chevrolet truck to miss 1997 5.7?

Possible causes:

- Ignition system issues: Wet weather can cause moisture to enter the ignition system, leading to misfires. Check the spark plugs, wires, and distributor cap for signs of moisture or damage.

- Fuel system issues: Water in the fuel can cause the engine to run rough or stall. Check the fuel filter and fuel lines for leaks or clogs.

- Air intake issues: A wet air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, causing it to misfire. Check the air filter and replace it if it is dirty or wet.

- Electrical issues: Wet weather can also cause electrical problems, such as shorts or grounds. Check the wiring harness and electrical connectors for signs of damage or corrosion.

Solutions:

- Dry out the ignition system: If the ignition system is wet, use a hairdryer or heat gun to dry it out. Be careful not to overheat the components.

- Replace the fuel filter: If the fuel filter is dirty or clogged, replace it with a new one.

- Clean the air filter: If the air filter is dirty or wet, clean it with soap and water or replace it with a new one.

- Inspect the wiring: Check the wiring harness and electrical connectors for signs of damage or corrosion. Repair any damaged wires or connectors.

If you are unable to resolve the problem yourself, take your truck to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
