Question

I have a '98 millania s. I recently had the check engine flashing and brought it in for service. I was told I needed new vacuum hoses and spark plugs. the service cost $900. Since completion of the job the car losses power or doesn't start. These conditions occur more with wet or rainy days. Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

could the probleem be caused by the vacuum hose replacement, the taking apart of the engine to do the replacement
