Asked by stoutjack Jun 17, 2013 at 07:42 PM about the 1984 Pontiac Fiero Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When it rains my car won't start. Specifically the engine won't turn over. I have checked
and replaced the spark plugs and wires plus the cap. This only happens when it rains.
Any ideas?

Due to the removable engine grates/covers: The battery tray is susceptible to rot because the battery itself is exposed to the elements so rain washes over it and the acid rots everything beneath it. I never had this specific problem with the '87 Fiero GT that I owned, but I can see how rain water seeping in could be problematic.

When you turn the car on and go to put it in reverse all it wants to do is grind the gears and when you try to put it in the other gears it stops and don't go shift. What could be going on?
