No start in misty weather
I have experienced two situations on my G37 where the engine cranks but does not fire.
They are about a year appart but during similar weather conditions. Both times it has been a light rain for several days.
During the one last year, the car was towed to a dealer and he got it started by resetting the computer(or so he claims). I proceded to have him clean out the throttle body and add a fuel injector treatment as a precautionary measure.
Just recently the same thing happens. Cranks but does not start. Same weather conditions.
Had it towed to a shop. No codes are present as measured with an OBD II.
The battery was down from trying to start it so many times prior, so he put a charger on it. Tried again and started as normal. Hasn't failed since.
What can cause this problem? Any thoughts?

1- Spark Have you tested/checked for that?
2 If yes for #1 then check for fuel
3- If #1 and #2 are present check for air
Follow the troubleshooting steps in the FSM
Good luck
