osso Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 there is a distributor which is known to fail, the probes in the distributor corrode and wear over time, as there's a spinning arm that spins round generating a spark for all 4 probes... you can try to take the top off the distributor and clean the contacts as a temp fix, but utilimately you'll have to get it replaced if you do find its the distributor is causing the problem.

Todd Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 If it's the tubby then Osso is spot on, the tubby eats dizzy caps and arms and quite common for them to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
