Answer
Hi jamie:

Wow, wierd problem... Umm what happnes when you try to start it. does it crank? does it start then stall and the security lamp come on or start to flash? It could be an issue with the security system or the body control module on this car. Thye have a tendency to have water leaking onto them and cause all kinds of warning lamps to come on. Does the car have a sun roof? I have seen where water leaks into the right and or left fuse boxes and cause probelms as well. I'm trying to link the driving in the rain to the problem you have.. It may be okay as soon as it dries out??? If not it can be a lot of things.. If it cranks you need ot check for fuel pump pressure and for spark. What engine is in this 4 cylinder or V6?
