Just so you know, lately, i had some vans towed to my shop (50% are towed
anyway ha ha ha), engine not running, 1 was badly running, hard start... bla
bla bla, the usual.

After a wile, i found the problem, all 4 vans had the same problem, one or
more of the 3 wires inside the distributor was cut, broken or close to it,
all because that black 3 wire plastic connector was loose. On 2.1L that
plastic part is attach to the distributor body wih a platic pin, ralely
still in place, so that connector move freely... not good, if unlucky (yea,
sure), the rotating parts in the distributor can cut one or more of the hall
sender wire.

So to prevent that, check that black connector! no picture today but an easy
explanation:

Remove distributor cap, rotor and dust cap (if still there), now try to move
that black connector attach to the distributor, if it's loose.. not good, do
something about it... like glue this one to the distributor, use tie-rap...
duck tape (ha ha) but fix it the solid.

If you don't understand what i'm trying to explain, and that is so...
possible (he he), tell me so and i will take pictures tomorrow.

Just so you know.
