ruff starts
ok ive run into some sort of problem. the other day my 89 bonne se sat for an extra day w/o driving(which doesnt happen very often) and ever since that day if my car sits for longer than say 3 hrs, its really hard to start the car. not a dead battery, and not an alternator. just had the fuel pump replaced a month ago. this really becomes a problem on rainy damp days, my friend(whos a mechanic) says i may want to replace my coilpack as there could be a crack and some humidity and condensation is leaking in a screwin it up, any ideas other than that?????!?! please help!
I'm having the same problem, but it is not limited to rainy/humid days. If it sits for a long period of time, my car takes 3 cranks to fire it up. I was told coil pack or ignition module
Not too faimliar with that problem in the coil packs but I do know if you get crack in your distributor cap and moisture gets in you will have a very similar problem so the same idea is there. Always a good place to start looking, especially since they take like 10min to pull. Clean them off and visually inspect them, also try twisting them different directions and see if a crack pops up. One of the more extreme ways to check would be simply dropping them in a bucket of water and check for bubbles. They should be fully sealed and if you see bubbles you need to replace them immediately anyway so I guess if you have the $ now you can try that. If you don't see bubbles dry them off and plop them back in. Heh just my crazy idea
