when i start my car for the first time of the day it starts right up but the rest of the day it takes a while before it will start. I have to hold the key in the on position for around 5 seconds before it will start, once started it runs perfect it also cuts off if i drive through a puddle of water during the rain. someone said it could be the optispark distributor i would like to know for sure before i purchase a new one. i also was told if i get the msd optispark i would never have to replace it again but it cost over $500 is there one as good as the msd but cheaper? is the stock distributor that sells in auto zone and kragen a waste of money
