I just put in a new m.s.d opti, plugs, wires, less then a 100 miles ago in my 94. Car is stored inside garage but garage gets humid and damp and when its like that car will not start... Just wants to diesel, when its not humid or damp car will fire right off.

Now saterday i took it out nice day and all started right up ran perfect for about 3 miles came to a stop, started to pull away and... Spit spudder and shut off!!! No start!!! Waited 10 to 15 mins turns right over and runs the rest of of the day starting and stoping.

I don't even know were to start... Im getting to the point im afraid to drive the car not knowing if it will start again if it does die.
Last night again went to garage it was raining and damp no start all it want to do is diesel and shut off. Help help help!!!!

Did everything get installed properly?

How is the coil?

How is the ICM?

Did you use dielectric grease on the plugs and at the coil?

Moisture is getting in somewhere. Look around to see if there is some place that it could be getting in at.

When its not starting are you getting spark? Fuel pressure? Injector signal? Its either no spark or no fuel, you need to determine which.

Check for spark, my new msd left me on the side of the road, I sent it back and they replaced the cap and sensor, now it runs fine.

Thanks everyone for getting me started... I can smell fuel so im going to start with spark, i just can't think setting in a garage it could draw that much moisture. But i have to start somewhere. Dry and less humid today so i'll see what happens this time.
