ok... my wagon is unique on this i guess, i hope not. well, eveytime the car stays in a place for more than two days (w/out been turn on or drive around for couple min) the car will not start up. it like 4 months ago, the car did not start at all for at least an hour of trying. now my car still at the body shop (already pass a week) and the guy had to take my car to another place so he can pull the frame more out but he tried to turn on the car and it does not turn on. i left my car outside his place and he took it inside his place with no problem a week later he was planning to take my car to this other place but the car does not turn on. he changed spark plugs but still... does anyone has this problem that you leave your wagon for couple days in the same place and does not turn on for a reason?

    bad solder joints on the main relay can cause problems like that... the engine turns over, but just won't run (especially in warm weather)? But sometimes it starts fine?

    Make sure there is no moisture inside your distributor. If your car is parked somewhere that is foggy or accumulates moisture(like in grass or near a field) it will definetly build up in your distributor. Spray some contact cleaner or brake cleaner in there and it will get rid of the moisture.
