Bought my 92 toyota pu at beginning of summer. Drove all summer long just fine. First time it rained I was leaving for work and noticed a significant loss of power and an intense clicking sound and feeling. similar to an exhaust leak, but i could feel the clicking more than hear it. it quit after driving for about 15 minutes. The power came back, the clicking stopped, it began to drive just fine again.
It has rained a handful of times in the last few weeks, and it does the same thing.
Now it has sat in the rain all weekend, this morning it wouldn't start. It turns over, and if I pump the gas pedal I can smell gas, but will not start. I have tried numerous times today. I have to drive to work tomorrow...help please!

Moisture under the distributor cap. had an old ford that did that. Wouldn't start in the rain.

The O2 sensor on you Toyota is for Emissions functions and to regulate the Fuel - Air Ratio. If it senses the vehicle is strolling lean it'll upload gas and visa versa. If the O2 sensor fails the vehicle will run poorly and no more Efficient and without doubt now not move Emissions inspection. However could nonetheless run and begin simply nice. The first situation I could determine to your auto is the Timing Belt as they have a tendency to damage and the vehicle will crank however now not begin. Check this with a compression Gage in situation of probably the most spark plugs in probably the most cylinders (those are to be had at your nearby ingredients retailer for round $50 US). If the belt is damaged you'll have NO compression, you will have a studying of over one hundred fifty PSI. If you compression is well Your customarily watching at a Fuel or Ignition trouble. Diagnosing that calls for a few gear reminiscent of a gas stress tester and spark tester to peer if the spark plugs are firring.

Only Chevy I ever owned was a 66 C-10. Did a full body customizing and then started on interior. But like your Toyota it would come to a complete stop in the rain (rained a lot in FL). I finally replaced distributor cap and rotor and it never stopped again when raining. Also, carry a can of hairspray. Spray inside of distributor, underside of cap, will get you home!

You are getting moisture under the distributor cap, Pull your cap off, Dry it, And try to find the source of the leak thats getting into your distributor. Also, Check and see if there is a gasket that should be with the cap and check for cracks and holes, If the gasket appears to be worn, Replace. That should fix all your problems.

Remove the plugs, turn over the engine to dry out the cylinders. Drain ALL fluids and replace them! Install new plugs and wires...don't forget the wires. Check the timing.
Trade it off!

You probably have a short in the line that controls the fuel pump. You may also have a rusted fuel tank.
