Spray dry gas around the ignition wires with a spray bottle? I usually use a heat lamp or hair dryer, but I'll risk draining my battery in this instance. I've had to do this 10 - 20 since I trusted some idiot to replace my ignition module.

You cannot spray dry gasoline with a bottle, you need to add water first:D Ha couldn`t help it, its been a long night. I`d use brake cleaner first then WD-40 if I didn't have any of the first. Year? Make? Model? Engine? Are you sure its moisture and not a loose or bad connection?

yeah. sometimes, you can find 99% iso alcohol in pharmacies for a lot cheaper than what ISO-heet and others cost. i don't think i would use any lower than the 91% stuff that gets sold though, otherwise you're just putting more water in your tank.

How do you know that moisture is the problem?

 

Seems unlikely to be moisture-related if I understand you correctly, and you've had the engine running 10--20 times. The engine heat would tend to evaporate the moisture.

 

Outright defective spark plug wires--or some other component--seems much more probable.
