replace rotor/cap and all wires there is enough moisture in the air to stop you.

Move to Phoenix, it's only rained twice this year.
Or, check you cap/rotor. Probably the cap, all or most of your plug wires would have to be bad before it wouldn't start (so that's probably not your problem), but always a good idea to check and replace if need be. |

Could be the multi function unit. What do you think guys? It's a black box on the passenger's side fender well, wedged between fender/washer fluid jug. They are pretty notorious for leaking and doing weird stuff like that. Make sure the cover is on it good. I believe it is held on by two clips. Make sure thay are both there. It could even be your under hood main fuse box going bad, but I kinda doubt it. Rotor/cap is an easier, try it first kinda fix though.

Had similar problem with my 96. The main relay unit (black box on passenger side next to washer jug) crapped out. Replaced it and works great. I pulled the old unit apart and found that the inside was corroded, which eventually cause the relay to burn out leaving me stranded.
good luck |
