My car is very difficult to start at times. I have replaced: battery; fuel pump; wires; a module in the distributor cap and other sensors. It appears that the situation occurs when it is damp outside. Occaisionaly I can hold the accelerator down whlile turning the key and sometimes the vehicle will start. Any ideas you might have will be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
