Yeah, and that doesn't always work... Last time I washed my car was with the engine running. Tried to move it after that, got about 10 feet and it died. Took ~10 minutes drying off the distributor and relay board before it decided it wanted to run again. I think not having the cover on the relay board was what really did it, though. --DD |

Wow,
You guys are great. Thanks so very much for all the advice. I really only washed the car not the engine but apparently I still got some water in the dist. and on the relay board. Funny but under the dist. cap was dry I checked it on sat. when it wouldnt start but when I used compr. air I think I saw some mist come out of the dist. Also the fuel pump relay either had a bad conn. or was wet. When I tried to start it 2 days later I go no f/p buzz. I took off the relay cover, it was dry and then pulled the relays and when I put them back in buzz..... and it started up. Once again thanks so much for your help and esp. to you guys who welcomed me to the club. Now, how do I remove this topic so I won't get in trouble with you or get "NAILED" Thanks again, newbie James Barclay Dallas ,Tx. 68 r/s Camaro 327/325 69 vette 350/350 |

No reason to remove it. It'll show up on someones search and maybe answer their question as well.
