The 12v has an engine loom given to disintegration,any water getting on to it will go straight in and cause shorting,in addition to this problem there is a three core cable with a copper sheath around it which contains signal wires from the distributor to the PCM,this breaks down and sends false messages thus causing refractory or non starting.You need to patiently strip and remake the loom,insulating every cable and making up a new three core for the distributor.
