it‘s around 45 degrees f at my house, I‘m molding a fiberglass paddle.I‘m using this stinky polyester resin to wet-out. On the back it says if it‘s 70-80 degrees use 12 drops of hardener per fl oz, but it‘s only 45 degrees and I still used 12 drops, will it still work just work slower?
Almost everything work slower in colder temps. Resin doesn't dry but it has to cure. That means, there is a chemical reaction that happens inside, and you get the solid material at the end. With warmer temps, it will progress faster. when cold, it will slow down considerably, or not completely form at all if too cold. Changing the amount of chemicals may not make much difference, or you will get unsatisfactory results. Try to follow directions as much as possible for best results.
is it possible you got moisture in the distributor cap?
Since you have already checked most of the things yourself, and you have tried to troubleshoot your engine, I suggest you go get your car checked by a mechanic. It could honestly be a lot of things. Hope that helps
The mass air flow sensor burns red hot when engine is running. Drowning the engine causes the wire in the MAF to break causing a problem with the on-board computer. I would say replace the MAF. Good luck.
