    2005 Volvo 660 ISX Cummins. It will start but will die out in heavy rain. Sometimes it wont restart until dry. I have covered all wires that I could. Any one else have this issue or know what I need to do next?

    The engine turns over fine and even runs for a short time, but if I let off fuel it dies out and sometimes will not start back up

    usually worn wires in MCFC connector (cab to chassis) area under hood, usually bad J1939 wiring

    sometimes bad J1939 wiring in chassis (wires keep running to TCU and frame ABS/EBS-ESP unit)

    So cut cabel ties one by one to find bad insolation.
