Trouble starting in damp weather?????
First of all you ned to know that I am from atlantic Canada where it is foggy every other day!! So it is very hard to avoid driving my GTA in this weather. If the car has been sitting in the driveway during three or four days of rain and fog, she is very hard to start the FIRST time I try. She spits and sputters and the rpm's are all over the place, at times she wants to stall out and she does, and there are times that she doesnt want to turn over. I have to catch the engine by nailing the gas when she turns over and keeping the rpm's up for a couple of minutes for her to go. Once she has been running for awhile she is fine. And if you where to start her anymore that day or week or month she will start first turn of the key. It wont happen agian until she is sitting in the fog and rain again. I know it is something electrical but what?? Plugs, wires, cap, and rotor are only two summers old?? Please help
