[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8610508, member: 562180"] So as it turns out I need a whole new distributor. Mechanic dropped by earlier today and saw the work I did...all I did was pull off the cap and rotor. Tried putting new rotor on. Somehow he noticed a small piece broken off of the distributor, not sure how I missed it but could explain why it didn't want to fit onto it. 200 bucks later....which includes another part I needed that he saw. Somehow I was leaking coolant but couldn't figure out where. 2 hoses from the heater core, there's a plastic piece in between them, it's failing and once vehicle is running, he noticed it was leaking right away. Wtf I didn't see these things is beyond me. Perhaps it was because its underneath the air filter and I was constantly looking under the vehicle. Runs much smoother now....the new cap/rotor he jimmy rigged to turn over and worked. Will have it back on the road tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
