anyone have any ideas about this problem? Only when moist out it wont start. turns over but will not begin to start. only happens a few times a year but need to fix that!

 

Year, make, model & engine is helpful If 96 or newer, common problem is distributor cap, rotor, and wires. Cap & rotor need to be AC Delco. Wires just need to be a good quality name brand, Belden, AC Delco, Autolite etc. NOT a store brand like "Duralast" etc.

 

Start it up in the dark with the hood open (and hood light off). Look for arcing from the wires and/or coil(s). If there's no obvious arcing replace the cap & rotor with genuine Delco parts as Captain Hook said.


I saw a '99 once that was arcing straight off the top of the coil. It was pretty impressive, but like yours it only did it when it was damp.

 

ok i havent looked yet. its a 2000 thanks guys. im sure today it will start with no prob wince its not muggy out
