My 91 Accord just started not starting in the afternoon after work when I get back to the commuter lot.

I've figured out that if I take off the distributer cap there is a lot of white powder so I take it off the contacts in the distributor cap and Rotor. The car will start right up.

I cleaned it all out and replaced the cap and rotor but the powder came back again and didn't start again last night till I cleaned it out.

I did replace the distributor about a month and a half ago and bought the part from Advanced Auto so I think I will take it back off and go and tell them I need one that works unless you people have a better idea??????

Haynes manual has nothing about white powder in it.....none that I found.

Any body ever have simular problems?

Thanks in advance.
