Thanks again Mech, I really appreciate the advice.

I will try the testing that you suggest.

I changed the fuel pump because it seemed to show all of the symptoms of a dying fuel pump that i had read about. Same with the main relay.

I had previously changed my cap and rotor, as well as installed new wires, but i still have weak spark, so i thought "what the hell", i might as well replace the whole thing.
At least that would hopefully help with the weak spark issue that i am having.

It's been raining today, and there is moisture in the air.

Is it a bad idea to change the distributor if there is dampness in the air still ?

( If extremely mild humidity can kill a car dead, i thought it might be a good idea to ask before i change the part with dampness still in the air. )
