Any idle issues?

Running on one cylinder...meaning ridiculously sluggish and almost undriveable? Were you driving normally at the time it just stopped, and did it make any noises, etc, or just turned off?

That is right, the car is undriveable. It just barely runs, but as I say like it is one cylinder. Driving on the interstate and it just quit.

It sound like you have thrown a rod. If this is the case, good luck.

Well, I suppose I could have thrown a rod or spun a bearing. I am not a mechanic so I had the car towed to the shop I use. Guess I'll know more after Monday.

Thanks.

sounds like a timing issue; it could be a number of things. It's probably nothing internal.

Distributor cap and rotor did the trick. Runs like new-sort of.
