car parked outside?..check plug leads, dizzy,coil ect...spray with wd40

 

[Baxter]

yeah it was at the time, what do you think it was like?

Damp in the ignition system? Possibly the distributor cap?

 

[Baxter]

is that really bad?

It means your car won't start

It's not the end of the world, or the end of your engine.

 

[crezz]

give it a good spray with duck oil or wd40 as this will drive out moisture... dont get it in your eyes unless you want to look like a panda

 

[Baxter]

could do with havin panda eyes like, take me mind off me car haha

 

[monkee]

double check the ignition coil too, it sounds similar to when it went on mine

Had similar problem with my corsa. New distributor cap, plugs and rotor arm sorted the problem
