If the rotor stops directly in line with one of the six distributor cap contacts, a single spark plug will fire continuously. And this will eventually burn a hole in the top of the piston. Disconnect the low-voltage connectors from the ignition coil and (not the distributor) you should be okay to drive. (MY97 might not be able to?)
So Jason, would you say the width of the six contacts might represent maybe 10% (if that) of the total circumference of the distributor cap bore? If that's the case, then that would be the likelihood of the rotor stopping in line with one contact. Not saying its impossible, just maybe a little under a 10% probability. So conversely, 90% probability that it will not be in line with a contact, yes?
