Subject:No ignition at 6560 feet above sea level

Hi listees:

This weekend we were going on a trip to the "sierra" (highlands) and it
was mildly raining, after 2 hours driving on dust roads (that were mud at
this point), I had to drove over another spot of water but this time the
van stopped, couldn`t make it ignite.

Had to push it off the road, and start guessing. After many attempts, I
gave up and camped right there. (In a small village called San Geronimo)
the day after with the help of the other battery to jump, it started and
we could drive back.

I am a little surprised because on saturday I changed ignition wires and
thought (foolish) that all electric problems were solved.

Any ideas on what to check??

TIA
