Before you go any further, check the spray pattern on all 6 injectors. If one clogs, it will cause all other injectors to run richer. I had the same symptoms, except 3K RPMs was when my car kicked in. But I had vacuum leaks too. Take things one step at a time, and make sure they all function properly. Since the fuel distributor is a mechanical part, I imagine it can go bad. But other than rust and varnish from improper storage, I've never heard of one failing before. -Robert vin 6585 "X" --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, david hudgins <painterdave72@xxxx> wrote: > --- David Teitelbaum <jtrealty@xxxx> wrote: > Hey Dave thanks but i just checked the vacumn advance > the other day with a timing li9ght and how do u check > the mechanical adavance??
