Car wont start....after snow melts
Hello everyone, well the unfortunate happened to me yesterday. I left work early because I am very sick, its been rivers (exageration) flowing through the streets due to snow melting. Anyway I get home and I have to pick up my cleaners, I go to crank the car, it acts like its going to turn over...but it doesnt. I had just driven it the night before with NO problems, the car had a good 3 inches of snow of top of it when I left in the morning, but none when I came back.
Anyway...
I live on a hill so I let the car go down the hill and tried push starting it and nothing, wouldnt start.... I looked at the SAFCII and the battery showed enough Volts, I still thought hmmm... maybe because of the cold weather it needs more power, I have a 1/4 tank of gas so it should be enough. So my neighbor lends me her VW and I connected the battery wires, and nothing wouldnt start. I did notice when I popped my engine bay that it was all moist in there, just like when you take a hot shower and everything inside the bathroom has mist on it.
I spoke with Miko, he told me to do several things to check if fuel is getting to the engine, and spark etc... but it started to rain so I could not proceed (and I was super sick).
I called my aunts brother up here who is a mechanic (over 30 years) and he told me that typically cars do not start due to the high moisture in the air because of the rain and snow melting, he told me to check the distributor (or dry it off) and dry the electronics in the engine bay, it should then start....or wait till the end of today because its going to be sunny and nice. So ill wait till today, I hope it starts this evening!
Any guys up north ever dealt with this?
