How long to dry out distributor wires?

Question

After a heavy t-storm, truck won't start. I just had fuel pump replaced. I am leaving hood up and even tried a blow dryer. It has been very hot since yesterday and sat all night. Will have to tow in on Saturday, if I can't get started. Shop owner, said the wires were arcing when in last time. I had money issue..what are chances of it starting again? Cracked?

Answer 1

you need to get a new distributor cap and rotor bug and all new plug wires to solve your problem, get someone you know that can work on a car install them for you as the total price for the parts at the parts store won't cost as much as the tow bill.

Answer 2

pop the distributer cap and dry it out with a rag... wires can be coated with vaseline if your not in the position to replace them now
