			Years ago my 240Z wouldn't start after being parked in heavy rain for hours.  It had good spark and pumped gas.  I called my mech. at home (I was stranded at my office on a Sunday afternoon) and he told me to put the dist. cap in a warm oven. The cap looked and felt completely dry, inside & out, but damned if 10 min. at low heat didn't dry out the unseen moisture and the car fired up immediately. 
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
			I bought a new cap next day. Apparently they get somewhat porous with age and can retain enough moisture to become inoperable.
