Ok... after running the problem by a few of the guys at work, one agreed that it could be the rotor/distributor, BUT the car runs fine once it is started, no missing nothing... SO then I asked about the starter relay wires, did they thing maybe that, and Rod thinks it could be, but Joe (the guy who helped me get the tire off when it was stripped) thinks it may be the bendix(solenoid). That actually seems more probable. If moisture gets in that, it'd do the same thing, but leave the starter looking like it's in perfect working order, which in essesnce it is... NOW need to look up which kind I have. If I have the one that is part of the starter, I will need to replace the whole dang thing. I am hoping this one is the separate unit, and can be replaced on its own. So. tomorrow's project is to take off the rotor cap, see if moisture is in there, clean it with rubbing alcohol just to be on the safe side, check for cracks, etc etc... Then take me a looksie at the bendix and relay wires... and hope its simple easy stupid. I like simple easy stupid. They are near to my middle names...
