kyteler Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Is it optical dizzy or electronic or points? Check the dizz cap for cracks/shitty contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vai-Man Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Fumes lol? you sure you dont have an exhaust leak etc haha? But what engine is it? cant go wrong with a new filter, oil coolant. check the timing dizzy cap etc. Dunno why it wouldnt start when its raining unless its getting into the electronics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpin Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 its a L20e. dont think its the exhaust...seems more like its coming from the engine bay...cant drive with the windown down at all. lol! to me it seems like its running really rich and the timing is a little bit off.... the moisture thing is really weird to me as well...it like its affecting the mix or something...i wonder if its messing with the airflow meter?

mark105 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 lol L20E = optical sensor like old man southern said, check spark by whipping a plug out and see if its actually sparking if not CAS might have gone/be faulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Not necessarily optical, L20E can be either electronic or optical. Is the dizzy cap screw on or clip on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
