Have been told it's: water in the cap (no) plugged fuel filter (where is it?) weak fuel pump (where is it?)
went to buy this car. wouldn't start. got a call next day that mechanic had dried out water from under plug wire cover and car starts. went back, car started many times, bought car. got car home, next day took to get tires. tire place called, couldn't get car started. appears to be same problem, but no water ANYWHERE. called who we bought it from, was told that mechanic said ''water on plug wires'' caused the no-start.
THERE'S NO WATER around anything. Would appreciate all assistance with this problem. Thank you.

Its the camshaft position sensor . Its located (atleast on my 1.6L) to the right of the front HOT plate the conection runs between the engine and the right side fan. easier to work on if you take off the air intake thats by the left front side of the battery. you will be working between the fan and the motor. only one bolt but is tricky so u need a 1/4 inch nuckle with a 1/4 extention. once located and you have the right tools it will only take 30 minutes to replace....dont forget to take off negative battery cable before you start.
The fuel filter is under the back seat. you have to take the seat out and there is an access panel for the filter.the fuel pump is in the gas tank.

Finally gave in and took car in to shop.
Head gasket WATER LEAK onto wiring for "camshaft position sensor" wiring and shorting it out.
Result: Car dies, won't start until wiring dries out.
Solution, replace head gasket, which fixes leak, which fixes problem.
