Thanks live_4it, did it fix ur problem????
so is ur cars 100% now yzfpete???? if not keep me in the no....
It seems to run a little better after I took off the distributor and removed some corroded build up. I realized that you can use a socket aswell as a phillips head to takethe nutsoff, so the one that got stripped I just used a ratchet on.I used Some Emery cloth 320 grit sandpaper and rubbedsome off the rotor and a little on the 4 metal points on the inside of the cap. But doesn't really kick in at 4000 like it used to. Butthe carsrunning fine and still has some decent power so I'll just wait till I'm at the dealership for a dif reason and bring that up aswell. I disconnected the solenoid and reconnected it too when I removed the cap.
