The car cranks and everything like normal, when the car is not starting. battery was tested at Autozone last night everything was good, and the starter turns like normal with no problems. When I pulled the spark plug when it wasnt starting i could not get spark, after the car warmed up and I ran it for a while I took the plugs out and I would get spark, and the car would start right up.
My thoughts are 1 of 2 things now.
first, coil in the distributor? I never had any probelms with this type of distributor so I have never really looked into it. It is just my understanding that there is something in the coils that could cause them to short out, but it is only happening when it is cold.
second would be the alternator. When the car does not want to start and I finally push start the car the alternator squeels first I thought it was the belt, so i replaced the belt, same as before. As I watch the gauge on the dash it is real low and when it stops squealing the meter goes to about the l on "normal" could this be drawing enough power or taking power away from the distributor to power the plugs.
OK maybe a third now, there is a relay for ignition main in my fuse box, when I pull it out everythhing still turns over but the car does not start, could that relay be the problem. I think it is f118m or f1184m something like that.
