Many vehicles have a de-icer for the air intake. When the temperaure is near freezing and there is a lot of rain or snow in the air, ice will form inside the air intake. Once ice forms, the engine will not run properly. An engine will also run poorly if moisture builds up on a damaged plug wire, distributor cap or other high-voltage areas.
