[DMCForum] Re: Yet more ignition analysis:

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I forgot to mention:

Ed Garbade sent me a whamo-dyne email detailing a similar problem. He 
installed DMCH's ingition kit and still had issues. Apparently even a 
tiny amount of water in a plug well may cause this and the boot keeps 
it trapped. You guys have all suggested this before and I gaffed you 
off. I (unfortunately) store my car outside, it has been raining off 
and on. I will use paper towels and my air compressor to triple-check 
all wells clean and dry.
