Hi All,

I've got a 1983 240gle which has been giving starting problems lately.
The engine just cranks without firing, eventually the battery goes
flat. A friend tested for an electric current and found that it was ok
to the solenoid and distributor but that there was none from the
distributor to the plugs. However if I spray some wd-40 into the
distributor and wait for a few hours, it starts. The problem used to
be on cold damp mornings but now even happens on dry days.

Anyone got an idea about this problem? Gave it to my mechanic but
everytime he seems to have no trouble. Thinking maybe because it is
not garaged in my place but in a carport.

Thanks
Joe
