thanks eric ive checked for vaccume leaks which i have found none, reassembled the distributor checked the battery air filter fuel pressure and also cleaned the iacv unfortuntely the problem is still there low idle and dying out. i did however hear sort of a vacuum leak type sound like an air intake sound by the driver side headlight but was not able to locate any leaks with my trusty can of carb cleaner. i see the idle screw as a kind of final resort and dont like to touch it so im gonna leave it alone. what should i move on to next? the ignition switch or igniter? ive read that failiure of those parts can cause the symptoms i am having. btw your videos have been extremely helpful im one of those guys that take alot of time reding repair procedures but never get to do them so i hve a limited amout of hands on experience but you videos show exactly what needs to be done for example ive read how to spot a vacuume leak but i had no idea how the sound im looking for sounds haha sounds odd
its a sudden death and the dash looks as if you just turned the electronics on in the car. btw checked for vacuum leaks, none at all
lol you guys wont believe what i found. looks like the previous “repair man” left an old distributor cap srew inside the distributor. i guess it finally got caught in the rotor causing everything insid to go nuts. looks like the rotor made contact with the plastic cover shattering it. there were bits of plastic everywhere inside but everythign looks useable so ill try start off with simply replacing the rotor and plastic cover but im not sure if that affects the low idle problem…
