Wet opti hair drier trick
My car wouldn't start after sitting two weeks in a snowbank,I finally got it all dug out and she would crank but no fire.
She tried a couple times but just shuttered a bit and never quite popped off.
Then I remembered about an old hair dryer I have laying around that I've used for thawing out frozen pipes.
I dug it out and ran an e-cord out to the car,crawled down in the snow and stuffed it up in the engine bay pointing at the opti dist. and turned it on.
I went in the house and let in run for about 20 minutes then went back out and tried the car,she fired right up.
As soon as I can afford it that stock POS Optisopark unit will be replaced with one from MSD.
