Re: Distributor - Does it need replacing?

Post by burnzdog »

Guys I have a quick question. On Saturday morning I serviced the the Van by changing plugs, Oil and Air filter, Oil, Distributor cap and Rotor. Everything seemed to go fine and the van sounded good after settling down. I took her out and put about 100 miles in over the last couple of days. She seemed better than ever until arriving back home earlier. I came off the motorway and stopped at the lights. Looking down at the dash I could see the van had stalled. It started fine but at the next set of lights same again. I soon realised she wouldn't idle and stalled as soon as the foot when on the clutch. I managed to get back home. Im just not suite sure why this has happened? I had a similiar issue last year but I think that was down to running low on fuel. I was running low but it certainly wasnt empty. Any ideas on what may cause this?

Just when i think all is going well. SMACK!
