93 GA Won't start

[joslinm]

My 93 GA with a quad 4 and 125K on the speedo wont start. My son drives it when he's home from college, otherwise sits in my upstate NY driveway. One cold morning last week he couldnt get it started. When I came home from work around 4 he told me and I tried it. It started pretty rough but smoothed out in a couple minutes then ran fine. This morning (around 5 above zero) I tried to go somewhere in it and it sounded like it was only trying to fire on 1 or 2 cylinders. Never did get it going. I pushed it in my garage (45 degrees inside) and recharged the battery. Now a few hrs later it wont even try to fire. Gas is 3/4 full. Any ideas? Thanks

How old are the plugs and boots?
I'd check that you are getting good spark.
Testing the coil paks and igntion module might be necessary too.

I'd bet the plugs are wet and fauled out too.

Got home a little early today and had lots of time to work on this car.
I pulled off the ignition cover and pulled the plugs. The certainly looked like crap. I took the whole thing to Advance hoping that they could test the coils and ignition module. They couldn't. How do I do this for future reference??? They took a look at the plugs and they definately were bad. They looked at the boots and thought they were fine. They did however suggest that I swap out the 1 yr old ignition cover that I had purchased there. They let me do it in the back with thier tools and it cost me nothing under warrantee. So I walked out costing less than 10 bucks. Installed everything and vrooooommmmm. Started almost before it even turned over 1 time. Made my day. Took it for a ride and it did hesitate at a light. At least it's running. Thanks, Mike

Sounds like a coil pack or ignition module has a crack or got wet.. May need to dry it out or replace it if the problem comes back.
