I bought my sister's 1994 Maxima SE that is in great shape but seems to have a strange problem. When the car gets wet specially form a good undercarriage washing the car will not start. It acts like it is getting no fuel. I don't know what fuel components are around those areas. Has anyone else had this problem.

 

Get a new distributer cap and rotor...common problem.

 

no cap and rotor in VE. direct ign.

 

If I haven't lost all my marbles, the 94's still have distributor caps; if that's so, and the problem is only happening when the engine compartment gets soaked, I'd say you've a cracked distributor cap that is allowing the rotor to get wet and short to ground or the coil wire isn't seated or grounding out.

Then again, I may have lost all my marbles and don't know what the *&#$ I'm talking about.

 

This car has direct ign, no cap or rotor. Looks like the engine compartment is dry but could be getting wet somewhere in there.

 

 

I am on a roll lately I didnt even pay attention to the year and model...

I am just going to keep my mouth shut for a while until I catch up on sleep and start thinking...

I have been one of those Matt always talks about giving false info...or maybe I am doing it on purpose to make people think...yeah thats it.

 

goddamit, i just bought a new rotor and distrib to fix that cuz i had the same problem
















haha j/k

 

Night, night

 

I actually went to bed early last night and finally got some sleep...kids or not lol.
