If I understand your question correctly, arcing is when an electrical charge jumps inside the distributor from the main electrical prong to the prongs that supply electric power to the spark plugs.

What is the difference between a Gas turbine engine and a piston engine?
a compressor does work on the gas , raising its pressure and temperaturea turbine does the reverse , it expands the gas as it passes through the turbine, extracting energy from the gas to do mechanical work.For a typical jet engine , the flow track on a compressor is of a converging cross section while is it diverging for the turbine, which is as per gas dynamic laws.The Turbine does two things here in the jet engine, one ,it runs the compressor and two, expands the gas to the propelling nozzle which produces thrust by accelerating the gas upto its exit.
Why is your van astro 93 will not start in cold or rain weather expect you jump start it and the battery is good?
Open up the engine cover- observe the coil when the engine is running-give it some gas- if you see arcing on the coil- this is your problem-I had a similar problem in rain especially-this solved it Open up the engine cover- observe the coil when the engine is running-give it some gas- if you see arcing on the coil- this is your problem-I had a similar problem in rain especially-this solved it
Is there any way to check spark boot for arcing?
A very basic way - but mechanics have used it for years: Wait until full nighttime. Car in garage. Hood up and propped. Lights off, and start the engine. You will see any arcing. Spray it with water while the engine is running.

Why Astro van won't start in the rain?
I had the same problem. My solution was the coil was arcing (more with high humidity) and had to be replaced. Take the cowl off to view your engine look for arcing on the coil. Its a tough DIY job as you have to disconnect throttle linkage. Take it to a shop $150 bucks is what it cost me. Astroman
