The car already has a bad starter motor which means I gotta crank it once or twice before it starts up (it also meant I had to buy a new battery)

Yesterday I took the car through a automatic car wash and thats when the problems started....it keep shuddering and there was a strange smell which I'll describe as being acidy. Today when I tried starting it up it cut off just as quickly.

I checked the distributor cap and it wasnt very clean inside and had moisture and oil residue. So I cleaned it out, the carbon looks find and has spring to it.

Thats as far as I know what to do.
Can anyone help out?





I was told to clean the distributer cap
