The car belongs to my dad. It's a very plain jane model, even has a column shift with bench seat. The day he bought the car (new) it was a rainy day. He drove it to the insurance company to update with them. When he returned to head home, the car nearly wouldn't start. He took it back to the dealer right away. The dealer did get to see it acting up. They took it into the shop. No codes were found and it began starting fine. Since then the car has started as you would expect unless it's raining or very damp. Occasionally on the wet days it cranks over but sounds like it's flooded. If he presses down on the gas about 1/3, it will start. It runs rough at first, but no smoke. Then all is fine, the car runs and acts as you would expect. The car hasn't left any codes, and the dealer doesn't know how to fix it. The car only has 16k on it, and is still in warranty. Has anyone here run across this with the 3800?
