Happy holidays everyone. So I have been having a problem starting my s13 lately although it's not consistent. A few months ago I gave the car a full tune up (plugs, wires, filters etc.) and it ran great. As of late the car will turn over and want to start however it just won't jump. I have found shooting a small shot of starter fluid in the intake will get it running. I feel like the problem could be something simple just not sure what. Definitely a pain when I gotta pop the hood in the middle of the rain lol Any advice would be appreciated. The car has the original SOHC. Thanks!

Id go back through all the work you did an double check it. Check the dizzy cap for tightness, if you changed the wires make sure they are all tight etc.
