Hard to start when its raining...???!!!

[greekguy7]

This morning, I had a very hard time starting my 87 Accord LXi (225k miles). When it finally started, I took it around the block and it kinda sputtered a bit. I parked it back home and took my other car to work.

I am thinking it may be plugs, wires, cap/rotor related. It acted up last week also when it rained. My NGK plugs have about 40k miles on them, my NGK wires have 140k miles on them and the AutoZone cap/rotor has 8k miles on them.

What you guys think?? I dont feel like throwing parts and time at it blindly...

Thanks!!

if its raining and moister somehow gets all around the wires and dist. you can get crossfireing. Might be time for some new wires. Check dist cap for cracks and such.

the rain might just be a coincidence. when is the last time u had a tune up?

that use to happen to mine. for mine it was the cat, it would get clogged when it rained but after 10 minutes when it warmed up, it was fine.
