I've got an intermittent problem with my 245 and I'd like to hear everyone's theories on what the solution might be. When the car has sat for at least two hours, and when it's really humid (like 80-90% plus), it will start fine, run for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, then die like the key was turned off. It doesn't run rough then stall slowly, but just shuts down completely. Then it won't start again for anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes (except once I started it in a mist cloud and it refused to restart for almost an hour). It turns over fine, but won't start. After it does restart, it runs without any problems. Never does it twice and never does it when the engine's hot.
Last time it did it I checked for voltage at the coil on the side where it's marked 15+, grounded to the body and it had a constant 12.XX with the ignition on. Didn't know what I was doing, so that's all I checked.
I've recently replaced plugs, plug and coil wires, cap and rotor. Had the problem before and still have it now.
I'm about to go on a cross country trip and want to outsmart this gremlin before i go off into the wilds! Any ideas? Thanks!
