I've been having a little trouble today with a little power loss. First thing this morning briefly and then much more later today. Mostly around the 3k to 4k RPM mark.
There was a heavy frost last night and after the car had been going for a little while this morning all was fine until I drove it later on in the afternoon. The next time it had started to snow. Sprayed some WD40 around the distributor and all was Ok for the next 20 miles. At that point the power loss returned and the car died on me. After about 5-10 minutes and a little more WD40 it was back to life. The snow had stopped a little after this time.
Next time was much later and it was really cold outside but no visible frost. Power loss continued for most, if not all of a 25 mile trip. I've had the car set up on a rolling road within the past week and it's been running great till the cold, frost and snow today.
Can anyone suggest what might be the cause of such problems? Simply water getting where it shouldn't be or could there be more to it than that?
