Remove and replace dizzy cap to start everytime?

In order to get it to start I have to remove the cap leave it in the sun for a while put it back on ... then it fires right up. Over and over it will start/stop. But if i leave it set for a couple of days it will go into "no spark" mode. Is that a crack or something else. New module BTW>
Thanks for yourr tips.............scott

The older point style distributor caps were made out of a bakelight sort of stuff, and the would get waterlogged,,, sort of. Sounds like you need a new cap and rottor.
