How many of you engine builders or re-builders use "custom-fitted" rings on the pistons?

sounds like the distributor cap and/or rotor are damp or getting wet. you will know for sure the next time its raining out you can pop the hood and have the car running, and if you see a blue arc, coming off the distributor the distributor is getting wet and needs to be replaced. wherever u see the blue arc is what/where needs be replaced. hope this helps.

Sounds like something in the electrical system is getting wet. Look for loose or frayed wires. Check connectors to see if any are loose or damaged.

Do one plug and one wire at a time, making sure you place the wires in the right order, otherwise it won't work at all. Go to any auto store, and ask what the firing order is, to be on the safe side. They will most likely draw it out for you, then follow the diagram...

How often should rotors be turned or smoothed out?

Denser air occurs on rainy days, which means more oxygen. If your car doesn't have a good mass air flow sensor, then it may not be telling the car to supply it more fuel based on the higher levels of oxygen on rainy day. So you have more oxygen, but the same amount of fuel. Your car engine makes explosions and on a rainy day you are exploding more air in the same space. Basically you are compressing more stuff basically in the same area, but the explosion isn't quite as big because you have more stuff (more oxygen/with no more fuel) in the area same contained area so it takes more strength away from your engine because you have the same size explosion, but more stuff in there that isn't exploding. If your sensors that help control fuel and air delivery to your engine were working correctly, it would tell it to add more fuel, giving it even more stuff even yet. You already have the more oxygen because it's a rainy day and then your car should add more fuel accordingly. Then you would have a bigger explosion and more stuff(more fuel and more oxygen). Now you would find yourself having more power on rainy days if your car was running properly. There are many other factors besides just your mass air flow sensor that could be causing this. Your mass air flow sensor is usually right after your air filter box. Sometimes the can be cleaned sometimes they need to be replaced.

Do I have a blown head gasket?

Possibly the coils or plug wires are getting wet and need to be replaced or have silicone spray put on them to water proof them. Something is getting moisture from the rain and effecting the electrical system, you need to take it somewhere where they are qualified to check it out properly and determine why.

To fast of a idol at start up?

start with cap and rotor... then go to wires assuming you have good plugs...throw dry gas or otherr the gas additive in tank to dry up any moisture there
