    The ignition system is likely so weak that it will only fire off with starting fluid. Perform general maintenance on the car:

    . Replace spark plugs (NGK only) with the exact ones that came in the car.

    . Replace Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil, if they have never been replaced:

    I recommend replacing the ICM and coil every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.

    . Replace spark plug wires, rotor, and distributor cap, if they have not been replaced in 80,000 miles. Use dielectric grease on connectors.

    . Clean throttle plate, throttle body, and upper and lower ports.

    . Clean air box and install new air filter.

    . Replace fuel filter.

    . Add Shell Regane or Chevron Techron to the gas.
