ok guys. i'm having this problem.. and everytime i change a part it seems to help , but then it goes right back to the same problem.

the car stall on me, clean cut like i shut the key off. the problem mostly STARTS in wet conditions(like if it was raining for a few days). the car will stall, and wont start up again for 5-10 minutes. then she'll start back up again only to do the same thing shortly after UNLESS i keep my foot on the gas.
parts i've changed so far in order :
CRANK SENSOR
IAC - twice!
COMPUTER
please someone help me.. when i bring it to the shop and they put it on the scanner, no codes come up. the only code that came up once was the IAC, thats why i changed it.

WTF is my problem. i can't figure it out.. i'm about to get rid of this car if this keeps happening.

Manual or automatic?

When does it stall? While idle or while driving?

Have you checked your plugs and wires? If water is affecting your wires, that could be a problem.

Not getting enough fuel maybe? Fuel filter clogged or pump maybe failing. Because you stated you have to give it gas to start it up.
My old dodge did something similar when it was low on gas, I had to give it gas to get it to start.

p.s. i had the pressure checked too at one point during this all and it showed it was fine

I had a relay in the main box by the battery flake out years ago. It would either make the engine hesitate at times or stall suddenly. Sometimes it would restart right away and sometimes not. The relay ran the ignition and fuel pump systems.

I swapped mine with the one for the horn and the problem went away for good. The relay cost about 12 bucks. I found the bug with a meter. The fuel rail and ignition circuit had 4 volts running it. It took the car stalling in the driveway and staying broke to finally find what was wrong.

i wish mine stalled in my driveway.. i always break down on the parkway in traffic :|

Thank you for your ideas everyone.. i will try this..
if anyone has anymore thoughts, please post them.. Thank you!!
