So after getting a code 15 and getting stranded for a few hours, got a new distributor everything ran great, drove home, good for a while. Then out of no where the car bogs and misfires looses pretty much all power, unless i floor it, it comes back to life. Happened for about 10 minutes then went away. So next day I time the distributor to 15deg, since timing was way off, hoping that was what the issue was. Car was fine for two days, yesterday it decided to do it again. Same deal, bogs backfires, no power. If I go wot it come back to life, let it idle its fine too. No cel or codes. Strange stuff. Any ideas?

you sure the ignition wires are in the correct firing order?
when the car turns off is it hard to turn back on?

Autozone, came with ignitor. Didn't come with cap or rotor mine looked pretty shot, gonna get them after work today see if that helps.wat?Comment

New cap and rotor in. Contacts on the old ones looked burned up. Also noiticed the distribtor didn't have a cap seal on it, the new cap came with one so. The second time I had the issue was when it was raining. Hmm.wat?Comment

Nice... figured it had to be spark related. My friend has a 98 F150, and it was doing similar things, turns out one of his #3 spark plug wire had break n the sheathing allowing the the spark to short to ground randomly....Originally posted by C91BLX7 View Post
