Rolla...well I-44 runs straight from StL to Springfield, and Hwy 63 runs from Columbia to Jeff City to straight south. Rolla is where those two intersect...probably about halfway between StL and Springfield.

Its dry/sunny here, still wont crank. Ill try it again this afternoon...See if it cranks. The last time this happened, once the weather dried out some, it cranked right up.

Its got a distributor on it...I took it off last time it wasnt running, and it appeared to be dry. However, Ive had the car for about 2 years now, and no idea how old the cap is. The rotor looks to be fairly old too.

Just replaced the plugs (NGK) (gapped at 0.039 in.) and plug wires, the precious set look to be very old. I do actually get a good strong looking spark when I try to crank it, checked that last night.

I dont know if it makes much differance, but the old plugs are bone white, and from what Ive heard that means its running pretty lean...

 

I don't know man, but check out US3S forums. There are alot of people on that forum from the St. Louis area who might we willing to lend a hand. Tell em thestealth sent ya, well maybe not.

Im gonna test the crankshaft sensor tonight..or tomorrow if it takes to long.

Ill let you know how it goes...if its bad, Ill get new one, if not....I can try the D cap lol

 

Not to many hits at US3S I see. Try 3si.org
Sometimes they are a little hard on newbs, but there are lots of knowledgable people there.

 

Im actually already there...here, here, andhere.

seem to be getting a little help so far, and thanks for your help too

 

Well heres whats goin on so far...

Replaced the rotor, Dcap is on order. It cranks now...but the weather is nice and dry.



Edit*: how embarrassing...i left a sensor unplugged. runs wonderful now, though I will have to wait till the next rain to see if anything is fixed

 

Well that is good news, (about the sensor), hopefully the new cap will cure your wet weather problems

 

problem fixed, i think the cap did it. thank you!

 

Good news then.[sm=smiley20.gif]
