I posted earlier about the distributor going out in my car. Well I got one and put it on today and it started right up. The problem is after I let it run for a few and pushed the gas a little it went dead and now won't start and acts like it did before I even put a distributor on it. I don't know what to do. Please help I haven't drove in like 2 weeks.

 

did you get the whole distributor or just cap and rotor? was the coil replaced?

Take out your sparkplug wires one at a time and put a screwdriver into the hole...hold it over something that is metal and a ground. If you see an arc you are getting spark...

if your getting spark, then check fuel. sounds like that may be the problem at hand.

 

Yeah, this sounds like an ignition module related issue.

 

I got the whole thing and didn't replace anything just put the whole thing on. I don't understand how it cranked just fine and ran for a little bit then died. I was thinking where I tried to start it before it could have flooded it so tomorrow in the daylight I'm gonna check the spark plugs. On the original distributor I had got a new cap and rotor. You think maybe replacing the one on the original with the one I just got would help or not? (btw the one I just got came from a junk yard so it's not brand new) Thanks though for the help so far guys!!
