2.4 petrol runs terrible if rain damp

Found this on the Internet, could it be this ?

My hearing is not as good as it should be but that sounds like a fueling issue to me, check all the injectors and the cabling to them, is the ECU damp/wet, you need to physically look at it, Rick

Could it be the Fuel filter?

When was it last changed? Rick

Almost exactly 1 year ago

Then I would be changing it if just to rule it out, Rick

I would suspect the HT Leads

Am I right in thinking they are carbon plug leads they can be damaged relatively easily near the plugs & distributor connections - they seem to absorb damp. I like the old fashioned way with a copper wire even if the radio crackles.

Are the plugs the right ones if you have changed them recently?
Can't see a LT connection being affected by damp in the same way.

It's 20 years ago but I did once have new distributor cap that went faulty - it was the carbon contact in the centre.

Very valid point there Ted, I had forgotten the leads are carbon, Rick

Getting code 21 and now won't start

21 is fuelling related on the 2.7

That's the code I was getting when the vegetable oil rotted through the rubber head seal on my first IP

Anyone have this valve?

That valve on the fuel rail will not stop the engine starting, is the pressure pump in the tank functioning OK, it should run for a couple of seconds on turning on the ignition then stop till you try to start then it will run again, cannot remember the pressure but think it is around 40 to 60 psi, the valve on the rail only reduces the pressure when on low load, it opens and dumps fuel back to the tank, Rick

No fuel getting to it

I've tried HT leads and dizzy cap

Then pump in tank is suspect, poss poor connection which could be your damp/wet issue, you need to put 12v to the pump connector on the tank, check polarity, if the pump runs then you have a wiring problem, Rick

Patrolman had running issues with his 4.2 petrol trol and that turned out to be a broken pipe on the high pressure side of the fuel pump.
