ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    How to test Distributor and fuel pump?

    So I've narrowed down the problems that my car might have. Its either a bad distributor that is causing my car to turn off while driving, or the fuel pump. To my knowledge, thats all iknow at the moment. I checked bing and searched a bit on the forums but couldnt find a thread containing info on how to test your distributor, and bing seemed didnt have much info on there. So is there a way to test the distributor? and the fuel pump?

    Fuel pump would mean when it dies it sputters and dies.

      Hmm i see. Nope my car didnt do that. It died 4 times, and didnt sputter at all those four times. I hope it isnt the fuelp pump.

        How about the ignition switch? Wiggle the key when the car start and running to see if it turns off. Wiggle not turn off.
        Good luck.

          Also a good suggestion. But if the car cranks and doesn't start, it will rule the switch out.
          wat?

                  Sounds like we have the same problem.

                  I ended up replacing the distributor, and with it the crank sensor.
