I know this happens sometimes, i let it sit overnight, and I am going to check the cap n rotor area for water. ANy other common causes? loom?
TIA,
EdZ


Yeah check cap and rotor, spark plug wires at both ends. And last electrical connectors... there might be some water puddled inside a connector. Go buy some electrical contact cleaner and start going through connectors looking for a wet one, spray it with the electrical contact cleaner, let it dry and see if that helps. Next time...cover stuff up! :)

Also check connection on the 02 sensor.
