today i tore the valve cover off of my 91 lx to replace the seals for the spark plug wells.while doing so i decided to adjust the valves. to do this i took the distributor cap off to make sure the engine was at tdc. after doing that i realized that my distributor had a lot of problems. so i now i am replacing it. just because of 4 seals im putting more money into it than i wanted. who knows wat else mite go bad before i fix it.

has any one had this happen to them. its a pain in the butt to fix cars. but still cheaper to do it yourself

 

Ive had similar problems with a 1990 mazda 323. I changed the spark plugs, wires, filters, struts and brakes and now the fuel pump or something has gone out. All the while I justbought the car for a winter beater. Unfortunately all winter it was parked after it slipped off the driveway into a snow bank where it still sits, lol. During this time I drove my civic in the winter and now its rusting a tiny bit[:@]
