Engine problem
1996 Chevy Truck V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 250xxx miles

For the past two years when the weather is wet outside my truck begins to miss. After a while it will not even start. The repair shop says it condensates in the distubitor. Today once again it will not start openned up the distubitor and I see no moisture but the cap has green on the tips and the rotor has rust on the tip. These where just replaced in eairly 2007 and have almost no miliage on them. I will replace them again but what can I do to stop this problem?

A small amount of corrosion on the terminals is normal.
I suggest that you take a spray bottle and while it is running spray the dist. Cap, coil, and the plug wires the watch and listen for arcing.
It sounds to me that you may need a new set of wires.
