my car doesnt like to start up in the mornings or when it is really cold out. I used to think that it was the carb, but I knew the choke was working and I knew that I had fuel going to the engine cause I can always smell it. thought I flooded it so I let sit for long time but still wouldnt start. then i thought well it doesnt like to start in the cold but when its warm outside no problem, never a problem but usually heat doesnt much make a difference with fuel so I thought about electronics hence the distributor.
ever since I figured this out my car would start up: by taking a lamp that just puts out lots of heat and I pointed it at the distributor and let is sit for 3-5 min no matter what I did with the car either flooding or havent even turned the key. after that time, she would start up just like that. no problem even if it was 30-40 degrees out with dense moisture and it has been like that for a week now and this is working just dont know why.
wires are fine, plugs good, coil in shape but I dont see any burns on the points. but again when its cold doesnt start but when I put the heat to the distributor it starts up. what could be the cause??
