Hey, it's not too early for another. However I do have a couple of questions and maybe you can see where I am going. Did you replace the plug wires 30,000 miles ago? Do the days you have trouble seem to be damp days?

Acturally it could be almost anything.

Thanks for the reply

The wires, plugs, dist. and rotor all changed..and it could by sunny out and this happens...no damp days so far..

Thanks

Just to test out that theory, start up the engine (near your home or parts store is preferred) then spray the ign wires and ign coil with water. You can use a spray bottle. If the engine starts to miss while spraying wires = bad wires. If the engine stalls while spraying ign. coil = bad ign coil. I have seen weak coils cause problems with not starting easily especially in damp weather. One time it was with a new coil just installed one week prior! :-(

Thanks Dave I will give it a try
