You might check the distributor cap - my 1997 Jetta would run very rough until I got into 2nd gear when the weather was damp or wet. I checked the distributor and not only was one of the connections loose, there was a crack in the cap. After I replaced that...it was perfect in any weather.

Why does a 1996 VW Jetta not start and when it does start it cuts off when you give it gas after the engine got wet at a car wash?

You probably need to replace your ignition coil. This is a common problem. Whenever there are heavy rains or you go through a carwash, the car stalls and won't restart until the coil drys out. Something electrical has gotten wet. Letting it set overnight will sometime dry it out. Otherwise you need to find out what got wet. A can of CRC fast drying electronic cleaner will remove moisture and dry out connections. Sold at most auto parts stores.

Wet where? On the outside? Or are you pulling the plugs out for examination when the car won't start? If they're wet on the outside, is the liquid on them fuel?
