I have is that i have a skipp in my engine. i have just replaced the distibutor itself not the cap and rotor because i belive the shaft was bent because i was expiriening shaving on the inter wall of the cap were the rotor button is located and along the metal prongs. i had just resently replaced the ignition module, cap, rotor, wires, and plugs befor i replaced the distributer. what could it be?
please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Weak coil, damaged rotor or distributor cap, poor ignition pulses from the reluctor (shouldn't be a problem on a new distributor, but stranger things have happened), failing secondary wires (especially "designer" wires), failing or damaged spark plugs (same as above with "designer" plugs), sticking or leaking valves, damaged cam lobes, bent pushrods, blown head gaskets, etc.

If a compression or cylinder leakage test indicates no mechanical problems, the culprit is likely ignition. TBI doesn't exhibit the same kind of symptoms with apparent fuel related misfires as TPI systems.

 

One or more of the wires could be on the wrong plugs

 

Did it have the miss before you replaced the distributor or after?
