RE: no start (and dead starter?)

Most of the time when you have running conditions related to rain, and
humidity it's fairly easy to point the finger at plug wires. Not to
mention that misting rain stuff gets into everything. I would try
swapping out the plug wires for a known good set to rule out crossfire.

Subject: no start (and dead starter?)

  having problems with my '86 8v. we've had misty ran here lately and 
my car doesn't care for it (ran into this previously but the problem 
fixed itself then). for the most part, the car will crank and not catch.

i know it's getting fuel as i can smell it flooding. i would check for 
spark but when i was trying to start it tonight the batter ran a little 
low. i hooked up the battery charger and tried to start it again. now 
all i get is the inital single -slow- turn over then click-click-click, 
then another turn over followed by three more clicks. the voltmeter 
inside says i have 12V+.
  i'm thinking my no start problem is the coil, but as for the starter,

did the battery charger kill it or was it simply on its way out? i have 
spares of both, but it became too dark and cold to work on it tonight. 
any ideas would be helpful. thanx.
