sometimes (not all the time), my car will be a b**ch to start. i will have to crank it over for like 2-3 seconds and there is a bad clicking noise.

also, whenever i go into a gas-station car wash now, when i start to enter and it starts to do the undercarage wash and it sprays right underneath the engine it dies. i have to wait about 30sec.-1 min 30 sec. and it will start right up.

sounds like distributor to me.. right?

 

could be your starter if it takes a couple of times to crank it over i would check that before putting the money into a opti

 

DO NOT USE THE UNDERSPRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That shoots strait up to the opti and more than likly your opti is shot. I'm will almost bet that is was shot mine as well. Just don't do it anymore!!!

 

but why is it that it never used to do that?
