A few weeks ago I posted about my daughters 740 wagon not starting ... after trying and failing several times... three days later it started right up.
well a storm front rolled through today and the car failed to start stranding her near her workplace ... I had put what I thought was a faulty Radio Suppression Relay back in the vehicle after confirming a good one from the junkyard and I sent her along hoping that if it failed again she could just replace the potentially bad relay with the good one and it would start up again, therefore confirming that original relay was bad. Well no go... it still didn't start after we had replaced the relay. So both relays are probably good and the RSR can be eliminated in my opinion.
So I thought that maybe the plug wires were wet from the rain and replaced those ... still no start, then I took off the distributor cap to see if it was wet in there but it looked dry and clean (we had just replaced it when we smashed the other one while replacing the transmission).
In any case her car is still sitting there and I'm wondering whether to have it towed back to my house again.
Is there any other parts of the starting system that would be effected by wetness? The original time it failed was during a rain as well so it feels like water is the problem.
thanks in advance!
Jack
