'96 Mits. Spacerunner. - John24

Had no trouble during the bitter cold days of winter but, increasingly, I've had dificulty in getting the engine to fire on damp, wet mornings. From trial and error, I've found that a quick blast with a hot air gun around the engine compartment solves the problem so it looks as though dampness is shorting out something. Anyone got any hints/tips re dampproofers or other solutions?
