Polo Volkswagen Polo 1.4 problem

[vwpolo97]

Please help me with my car. I know nothing about fixing them so any help is welcomed. Volkswagen Polo Classic 1.4 1997. Shuts off on a rainy day. I can drive for a while but suddenly it kicks a few times and that’s when I know it is going to stall. Revs go to 0 and steering becomes very stiff. Idle is very inconsistent and usually when i keep it running idle it will also shut off too. Sometimes it doesnt even start at all. Works like a dream on a dry or sunny day but as the road gets wet, the problems occure. The problem gets away when i wait like 15-30 minutes. Then i can somehow drive the car but it doesnt take long until this happens again. Also the engine gets really hot and you can feel that when you touch the hood when it’s closed. Could probably cook some eggs on it. I’m worried since autumn and its rainy days are here soon and i don’t even want to think about winter and snow.
