1996 Sunfire 4dr. I'm pretty sure I have an ignition system issue but
will toss it out for opinions.
Lately, if the car has not been started for a few days (it's garaged),
or if the weather is very damp, I can't get it started up. Cranks like
crazy, with an occasional "chuff" but no start. Spritzing WireDry spray
sometimes helps but not always. I don't think it's a fuel issue (I could
be wrong!) as the fuel pump and filter were replaced last July, and when
it's running it's smooth as silk with good performance and acceleration.
When the weather warms up and gets drier, starts as soon as I turn the
key. I'm wondering if I might simply just need to replace the wiring,
the wiring and plugs, or could there be more to it.
