Funny but true story; In 1980 my friend had bought a toyota celica. Everytime
we drove to work the car would stall. I'd take off the distributor cap, wipe it
out with a tissue and it would startup.
Noone could figure out the problem. Luckily he bought the car from his cousin
who bought it back 500 less. What a guy!
