Re: 99 Astro No Start when cold.
Well I thought I had mine fixed when I replaced the coil just recently.
But soon learned with the wet/cold weather we have had in Ohio lately that it was not.
As the stupid thing just wouldn't start.
Did not check the fuel pressure, thought of it but didn't go there cause like duze it smelled as if it was flooded.
We determined with the help of my Dad that we had plenty of spark from the new coil to distributor, but next to nothing coming out.
Took off the Cap which was new in 10/05, and the brass contacts were corred blueish green. Never seen one that bad.
Took it back to NAPA, and it was out of Warranty (1 Yr).
The old timer behind the counter said that there are two small holes on the bottom plastic plate of the distributor that GM put there for moister drains?
He said to stick a paper clip through the holes to clean out any dirt that might be plugging them.
We did this a put a new cap on.
The thing starts/runs good now and we are continuing to have wet/cold days.
Duze, I don't know how new your cap is but check it out if the Fuel pressure checks out okay.
