For the cap and coil sometimes they just need to be wiped clean to remove the conductive path to ground. Always a good thing to test or replace plug wires if in doubt. www.inct.net/~autotips/plugwire.htm A quick spin on Google.com brought this up. I've never seen the water trick before. I love that. Google RULES!
