I have a suzuki vitara which won’t start after rain – would a car cover help?
It is not a cracked distributor cap – she gets damp during a wet night and won’t start early morning but will start later on a clear day. I am wondering if a car cover would help or if the damp would just come in from underneath? Appreciate any helpful replies!
Hi
There are some very interesting answers in here, I’d LOVE to see you try to stretch a bike cover over a Vitara Jeep, eh, Dom!!
Your problem is without a doubt damp getting into the HT leads. You can either buy a tin of HT sealant spray and give the HT system a good coating, including the insides of the ends of the leads, or you can renew the leads etc.
Whatever you do, DON’T spray damp start or any other starting aid into the intake. It will very quickly wear the cylinders and rings and you will not be able to start your vehicle without it. It will become addicted to it and it is a very well known occurance in the motor vehicle trade.
Your problem isn’t serious and is easily repaired. I will say that although the HT spray will work, you are only treating the symptoms rather than fixing the problem, and my advice is to renew the leads, and if your jeep has one, the dizzy cap as well.
all the very best
