Cold and moist weather
blamed for starting woes
Whether ins mowing or not, high and
precipitance] wall cause tens of thoutemds of
motorints darting and galling trouble this
winter.
Worn spark plugs, cracked ignition leads,
a dirty distributor cap and loose drive bells
cal all pay havoc with a car's igniting
systems, according to Larry Koles,
Manager of Technical Programs at Cham-
pion Spark Plug Company.
"Winter starting problems are two -fold,"
Koles says.
"Colder temperatuires can decrease the
starling power of the battery, and problems
in the ignition system name the battery to
ram down faster in futile starting anemptse"
A new or recharged battery tend to hid Ile
problems temporarily; causing starting pro-
blems to recur.
"Many starting problems can aimed
always be traced to a wet ignition systems,"
Kolas says.
'Moisture from rain or melting snow
often settles in the engine cornparimient
Salt and road grime can accumulate in the
engine compartment and retain moisture,"
Inc says.
"If the moisture doesn't bum off, the
unintentional electrical path for the spark
may prevent it from reaching the plug.'
Spark plugs that have seen to many miles
are often the culprit' . "The spark will jump
where there is the least resistance. If the
gap is too wide or there's something causing
a disruption in the spark's path, the spark
will leak through the wire," Koles says.

by letting (Inc engine rim in a dark area and
observitig the ping wires for leaking sparks.
