98 camry spark leakege, dead once in a while
I have a 98 camry with 178k miles, I haven't had any problem with starting ever till a couple weeks ago, it dead on me, i tried starting several times but no luck. I left it there for 30 mins, It started and worked fine.
It happened to me again yesterday, was not able to start then today, I tried it, it did start and run fine. Battery and starter were both fine.
I checked the 4 spark plugs wire, unplugged 1 at a time and checked for spark I found out of them had a weaker spark from ther rest. I also noticed some spark leakege from the ingition coil connector ( connector for wire going to the spark plugs ).
I was able to see spark dancing around the connector when standing infront of my car.
Anybody experienced this problem before, please let me know what's wrong with it.
I suspect the ignition coils, since I opened the wire at the ignition coil connector and did not see any loose connection.
Thanks,
