Re: Distributor Cap?

When you try starting the car without the starter fluid, if you hold the key in the starter position, does the engine keep turning and turning, or does it stop trying to turn over on its own?
If it stops on its own, then the problem might be electrical and i would suspect the distributor cap. Even more likely if your in an area of high summer humidity or just had a heavy rain. I had a car that died on me and wouldn't re-start, got it towed to the mechanic and it wound up being the distributor cap (even though i suspected it was the fuel pump).
Fortunately it's a cheap part ot replace and keep your fingers crossed.
Let us know what it eventually is.
