it must be winter the car wont start whether its snowing or not high humidity and precipitation will cause starting and stalling trouble this winter for tens of thousands of motorists worn spark plugs cracked ignition leads a dirty distributor cap and loose drive belts can all play havoc with a cars ignition system winter starting problems are twofold colder temperatures can decrease the starting power of the battery and problems in the ignition system cause the battery to run down faster in futile starting attempts a new or recharged battery tends to hide the problem temporarily causing starting problems to recur wet ignition system many starting problems can almost always be traced to a wet ignition system moisture from rain or melting snow often set tles in the engine compartment salt and road grime can accumu late in the engine compartment and retain moisture if the mois ture doesnt burn off the unin tentional electrical path for the spark may prevent it from reach ing the plug spark plugs that have seen too many miles are often the culprit the spark will jump where there is the last resistance if the gap is too wide or theres something causing a disruption in the sparks path the spark will leak through the wire leaking plug wires leaking plug wires can often be diagnosed by letting the engine run in a dark area and observing the plug wires for sparks if sparks are visible the wire where the spark is leading should be examined for wear and damage and replaced if nec essary the same holds true for the distributor cap moisture on top of the cap can prevent the spark from reaching the plug dry off the top and inside of the cap with a towel or hair dryer and the car should start check distributor cap motorists should also check the distributor cap for signs of electrode wear cracks that may allow moisture to seep in and carbon tracks that may indicate shorting of the spark driving in the rain and through slush can also drown out an igni tion system water can slip under a loosefitting insulator boot and short out the spark plug check the spark plug boots for snugness loosefit ting boots should be replaced water can also cause drive belts to slip resulting in a loss of the charging systems voltage to the battery check the alternator belt for tension and wear if the belt does not show signs of wear simply adjust to the proper ten sion an annual
