This afternoon when I started my car it took a little bit longer than usual to turn over. I then drove the car for about 15-20 minutes and parked it for about 30 minutes. When I came back out to start up my car, it would only crank but not turn over. I tried to start the car for about 5 minutes. The car was cranking strong. I let the car sit for a little while with the key in the ignition in the accessory position. After a few minutes I heard something in the back of my car click (it kind of sounded like a relay or something). After I heard that sound I tried the ignition and the car started right up. Any ideas on what could be the problem? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Well, just to let you guys know that I figured out what the problem was. It turns out that the problem only occurred when it was raining. I eventually was able to figure out that I was getting fuel because when I pulled the spark plug out it had fuel on it. So the next thing I checked was the spark. I was not getting a spark. So my first fix was to get a new distributor and rotor. When that didn't fix the problem, I changed the ignition coil and viola, it started right up. Hope this helps someone.
