My Eagle Summit sedan 1.8L Auto will not start when it is wet when i turn it over i see sparks coming out of the distributor cap should I replace the cap or the whole distributor thanks?

Replace the distributor cap it is either cracked or worn out. While you are at it replace the plug wires since they are probably not in much better shape. Be sure and lube the inside of the plug boots with dielectic grease on both ends of the wires. your local parts store can supply you with everything mentioned.

If a 93 Integra won't start is it because of an electrical problem?

I had the same problem. Check all of your spark plugs, if they smell like gas they are burned out. You should replace your spark plugs and check your distibutor, not the distributor cap. If that turns out to be the problem replace the distributor, distributor cap, and the rotor. If you turn the key to start the car, but nothing happpens, the starter's bad. If the car turns over but doesn't fire up, then the igniter/coil in the distributor might have gone bad.


Why will your summit not start no codes in the computer changed distributor current going to distributor no fire out?

I have a 1991 Eagle Summit that just stalled out one day and would not start back up. Two years we played with this, switching out distributors, adjustments. No codes coming up on the computer and tno firing. Then I started making calls to parts shops and just about every parts person I spoke to said try the distributor. When I told them I did than they said it's the computer. What they have seen with these vehicles is that this problem is almost always caused by the distributor or computer. The dealerships and parts stores wanted too much for a computer- used (you don't know what you're getting)-rebuilt and new. I found this company in Texas that deals with rebuilding faulty vehicle computers. Prices are resonible and the company is terrific. They sent me a rebuild and I sent them my old one. The computer was installed and the vehicles, after being down for alittle over 2 years, started right up. The computer is Guaranteed for 1 year The company's website is: www.AutoComputerSupply.com Hope this helps.

Why won't a 1994 Eagle Summit not start when it has fuel and spark?

Have you checked the compression? It is not all that unusual for the timing belt to jump out of position. Edit: Oh, Eagle Summit... I thought I read Talon. Summit.... hmm... Sorry. Edit: Summits and Talons have similar engines. If the belt is less than 50K km its unlikely to have jumped. You have spark, so the distributor is OK and you say you have fuel. The most common problem is that the engine coolant temp sensor (2 pin) connector or harness near where the top rad hose is connected is damaged. This sensor provides a signal to the ECU and if not connected makes the car hard to start, esspecially when cold. You can also check the timing as follows: Locate the timing mark on the main pulley and rotate the engine round to the T mark on the timing case. ie set the engine to TDC. Pull off the distributor cap (clean the contacts) and verify that the rotor is pointing to the #1 plug, and that the plug wire order is 1-4-3-2. If the engine starts, idle timing is about 5 BTDC.
