I'm running 5w20 semi synthetic with NGK copper and my engine still vibrates. I've put net cap, rotor, and wires on it. Maybe I'll check my motor mounts. |

Which Metro did the dizzy come from? Which Metro did you put it in? If you put an OBD II dizzy in a OBD I Metro (both non-vacuum advance) it will run; Like ![]() The OBD II distributor has an extra nub on the reluctor. The pickup "sees" it almost like an extra cylinder and will fire off an extra spark. Make sure you match your OBD's when you swap a distributor. BTW It is not hard at all to reset a dizzy pick up.

I took a dizzy from a 96 3cyl and put it in at 97 3 cyl. It runs but didn't make any difference in the idle. ![]() |
