Re: Symptoms of a bad distributor (fe519)
take off the dist. cap, if there is oil in the cap the bearings are probably bad, or is it the bearing gasket, can't remember. if the cap is off and the rotor or the contacts on the cap are cut or damaged the dist. is probably bad. try changing the cap and rotor, fairly cheap, i got mine at napa for like 30 for both and found out the dist. was bad.

If you're talking about the rotor, it shouldn't be easy to turn... it's driven by the cam correct?</TD></TR></TABLE>
yes, its driven by the cam. if you arnt able to move the rotor with your hand... then its bad.
