Why would your car just die when it rains really hard?
Sounds like water is getting in somewhere. A modern car usually has a brain, the ECU module. They are usually in the kick panels either side of the front footwells, or under the front seats or floor. This would be a prime suspect for ingress of water. If water shorts the terminals, it will show it's displeasure by giving up. I assume from your question, that the system recovers when dry. This would rule out permanent damage, by water entering the cylinders and causing 'hydraulicing'. Which is a bit more serious.
1994 Ford Explorer- how to start it without the computer card in it?
Computer Card? What are you talking about? There is no computer card in this vehicle. It has a ECU or computer as it is sometimnes called. Without the ECU the car will not start, as the ECU controls the fuel pump relay and fuel/air mixture. I doubt you can. The vehicle is completely depenant upon that "brain" for everything.
