Maintenance/Repairs

I have a 95 VR4, about 135k miles on it.

Last year I replaced the alternator, plugs, plug wires, had it tuned up, replaced the vacuum line for the master brake cylinder (the one with the shut off valve), drive shaft bearings, the air intake computer, and added a cat-back Tanabe exhaust sytem.

I drove it for the last year until about march. I put probably 30k miles on it, and it ran great. Recently I have been experiencing starting problems with it. I can’t always start it, and it seems to be especially when it is wet/cold or both. The last few days here in central Indiana have been dry, and I went outside to try it, and vroooomm it started up. I drove it twice yesterday, and I am going to go for a drive today.

At first I thought it was a fuel problem, but now it seems something electrical. I took the battery cables off the battery and cleaned them to shiny new copper, and re-attached, and sealed them up with electrical tape.

I love this car and want to drive it more. Please help!
