RAIN makes truck studder....??

did an engine swap a while back after i lifted the heads on my old motor from too much boost and now im running a completely stock engine out of a early 99 like i had already. engine runs perfect and doesnt miss a beat ever. but when it rains and the roads are wet every once in a while it will studder. almost like u turned the key off for a half second. sometimes accelorating. sometimes stopped. sometimes just cruising so i know it just happens randomly. almost like theres a sensor getting damp. the crank angle sensor seems to be sealed well at the connection so im dumbfounded. has anyone else experienced this problem??? o and btw when its idleing and this happens it kills the engine. but if ur driving it stays running cuz its just a split second cut out

Mine was doing the same thing. If I had the wipers on intermittent, sometimes, as soon as they kicked on, my truck would do the same thing. I changed the cps and it hasn't done it again. Have you noticed that it only does it when the wipers start to swipe

I'm guessing that if the cps is going bad, the wipers kicking on is enough of a jolt to the electrical system to make it act goofy
