Well, the car seems to randomly have issues starting. No constancy to it (whether just driven and restart while warm or totally cooled, or rain or shine). So it did it again today...And my luck turned out to be it was raining sporadically, but mainly when I was outside of my car trying to figure if I could fix it...
Anyway...It'll sometimes give a fire or two then only the starter will turn, no fire from the engine. Sometimes it wouldn't fire at all, just the starter turning over. So today, finally after much aggravation and calling AAA b/c it wouldn't start, my dad just aggressively tapped on the coil packs and then said "Aww try it one more time just for the heck of it" and the car fired right up. I got home, turned it off and restarted it 3-4 times and it fired up fine.
Once the vehicle does fire up, it runs just fine. I can dog it or baby it and it runs good. It's just that initial starting that seems to be fizzling...I haven't tested the coil packs yet so see if it's them. But if it was one of the packs, wouldn't the car continue to run rough even once it fired up?
So any advice on where to get a new ignition so i can start lookin would be helpful. I already looked at Summit and they have a OEM replacement one for like $250.
Thx for any tips
