Ummm...ya...no start...wiggle some things...vrrooommmm??? Any idea?? 200

Running like a dream last night, parked her, got up this am, cold and damp out.
Turn the key...lots of turnover, no fire? Open the hood, pull off the distributor, it's dry, wiggle a few things inside the distributor....vrooom on the next try. This has happened once before, and I did basically the same thing to get it running again, and it has been fine for months and months? Does anyone have any idea at all? My battery feels weak, could that be the problem?


Any help at all thanks...

Hey. First i have to say, are you in Vancouver, BC? And second of all did you get that wagon from Nick at Allvo (or maybe whoever bough it from him)? Looks familiar-just the color and the tint and the black (riken?) mags. Anyways, when ever I have problems like that I check the fusebox first. Maybe it has nothing to do with it but wierd problems sometimes are, give it the sandpaper treatment if you haven't for a while. Otherwise are you sure it's got no spark? if not maybe just try a cap and rotor. If it does have spark I'd check the fuel pressure. Fuel pump relays do wierd things like that too.

Hey Kenny...

Yes and yes...I bought it from Nick a year ago...

As far as spark, I have determined that I actually have spark...
So it's quite possible that it could be the Fuel Relay...
How and where do I test that?

Cheers,
-Phil
