that's the sensor in the distributor, sometimes the distributor goes bad and takes itself apart on the inside. It could also be the grounds behind the intake not connecting well. |

Carefully check the wiring to the distributor. |

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest you may have a defective distributor |

no you have no test results to support this UN-SWAG - do not replace the ign coil until you do. TEST, DO NOT GUESS ============================ your distributor cap and rotor are not looking too healthy either .... Edited by mwebb, Nov 4 2010, 10:29 PM.
