Spark plug wires!
How old are yours?
When they get real bad, your car wont even start when it gets damp!

water condensation inside your distributor cap

a common issue

It was moisture in the distributor cap causing corrosion and crap for me. Got so bad I had a backfire that blew my muffler wide open.

I hope so, I just took it to the store and it runs like dookie and quits everytime I stop.I love this sick little car hahaha Actually it runs good I drive it daily.So I guess Ill take it in for a tune and check coil and replace distributor and coat it all with Sillicone?????

check the wires ? i always use a dab of grease on the top of the plug and some in the wires for both coil and plug and check your cap might have some white stuff in there did mine a while ago from the car sitting i was like whats this and used some sand paper

as mech and John said....plug wires and cap...cap might have a crack in it you can not see. No need to take it somewhere and spend even more money. Just get some wires and a new cap and rotor. Should solve the problem.

Why do you do this? does it protect from corroding? Any type of grease works?

it stops the build up in damp weather such as rain and snow
