Replying to: mxer746 (Apr 22, 2007 8:30 pm) Hi,   I am having a similar problem with my Safari van. Did you replace the distributor? Was this problem accompanied by starting problem too? My van used to start on the first crank no matter what the weather was like. Now I have to hit it two or three times. Let me know at your earliest convenience. Thanks.   regards, Doug Replies to this message: captaincanada0 (Feb 10, 2008 5:45 pm)

Replying to: mxer746 (Apr 20, 2007 3:39 am) Sounds like my 2000 safari. Did a complete tuneup But when the weather was wet it would misfire give me a check engine and registar a p300 error code. When dry out the problem would go away. No one could correct the problem. I did notice though that when the problem started that when it was cold and wet that the turn signal switch would also start acting strange. I noticed that the misfires and the turn signal switch problem occured at the time. I replaced the turn signal switch. All my problems went away after almost 2 years of hell when it rained or snowed.

Fuel pump fixed it. Bad connection in the tank and a build up metal filings in the motor made it pump under the specs. My distribuator was just fine after 200k and the motor runs and acts like new.
