Can anybody help???? I replaced the Distributor, the cap, rotor, fuel
pump, filter, temp sensors, injectors cleaned and a tune up and no
start. For some reason I think its flooding out. This problem only
happens in the wintertime for the past 2 years.

Are you getting spark? The cam position sensor which is under the plastic
cover below the distributor rotor is known for picking up oil that
leaks into the dist. around the shaft. There's a metal disc with holes cut
in it that get filled with oil and the sensor stops seeing movement... I
assume the ecu doesn't bother firing the coil or the injectors either
probably once this happens. I just RTF post and you said you replaced the
dist. though, so that's probably not the problem. The only other thing I
would ask is, are there any codes set?

Thanks for the reply. So far I don?t think there is any codes. My
mechanic will be doing that today. He said that my plugs was soaked
with gas. He let the car air out and put new plugs and a oil change.
It fired up yesterday and he tried today and same result (no start).
He is going to check and see if i have a Mass air flow sensor or a air
tempeture sensor. Do you think it could be any of those? And do you
think it could be my throttle that was recalled a couple of years ago
gone bad.

I had to replace my Mass air sensor (I did it because it had the code say
to, It fixed my problem). I also replaced my Air temp sensor (Also a code).
That was a waste of $80.00 for me because just because the code said it was
faulty when I replaced it I found out it was a faulty connector to it. Later
I found out that there was a recall on that connector.

Thanks for that info. What year was that recall in for that connector?
And when did you have that replaced.
