car wont start
my car wont start!
i can turn it over and it will turn like its getting power, but it will not start. sometimes the engine will go a little like its about to start, but it does not. i just washed it yesterday and its been kinda rainy today, could it be a moisture problem? it ran fine yesterday. thanks |
did you try taking off the spark plug wires and spark plugs, if you got water in where the spark plugs are or in the distributor then im pretty sure it would cause the problem you are describing, however usually water evaporates after a couple of hours, so i dont have a real good idea why it would still be doing that.
