Hi Guys,

My friend's 3.2 is having a bit of a problem as occassionally it will only run on three or four cylinders. After a while it sorts itself out. Could it be a dirty/damaged distributor rotor or is all that stuff electronic?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

David

Almost certainly humidity in the distributor. Happens to me this time of year - condensation gets in and arcs across. When it warms up it will clear up.

You can use a sealing spray around the ditributor and that will help somewhat.

Spray the inside of the distributor with WD-40
Im sure the problem will correct itself and it will confirm that you have hairline cracks in the cap. Replace and enjoy.

i've seen a lot of condensation in 3.2 dist caps. i wonder why the rest of them don't do it much. a bit of silicone paste around the bottom of the cap helps.
