| ...Sorta.
It's been raining very lightly... misting almost all morning. Leaving work about an hour ago, key in the car just cranks and cranks and no start. Finally after about 2 mins it cranks, turns over normally and starts. No CEL, runs fine drove like 15 miles home without a hiccup. Think it was just a random thing or should I take a look at anything to be sure. | |

Plug wires (more likely the coil wire), or coil. When it's dark out have somebody crank it over & watch for where the spark-show is.

| It wasnt an opti problem. Moisture has to be getting into your coil or associated wires. Clean, grease, and tape. Trust me. | |

Ah.. thought it was the opti. Anyways... I'll check the plugs and wires. I bought new ones last month so might as just replace them now. | |

| Might want use some dielectric grease on your wires to prevent moisture from getting in to disrupt current. | |
