<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <P><BR>Check for a vacuum leak or a oxygen sensor. Monitor the sensors output when the car is <BR>warm. See <A HREF="http://www.townsendimports.com/tuneup_folder/amm.htm">http://www.townsendimports.com/tuneup_folder/amm.htm</A> Down in the page is <BR>details on checking a sensor. <P>The oil would benefit the distributor as far as the advance mechanism, not hinder it. The oil <BR>could be fouling the cap though, clean it out and note the difference. Look at the rotor for <BR>cracks in its resin between the center electrode and the end. If cracked, use a Bosch rotor. <BR>Also check the wires. A good test is to remove the cover on the valve cover for the plugs, start <BR>the car at night and spray the wires with a spray bottle of water. If you see a light show time <BR>for wires. We have the Bosch Dist caps for $6.30, the rotor for $8.39 and the original Bougicord <BR>wires for $51.04, If you are interested in parts from us, send a email request to <BR><A HREF="mailto:saabmasternopsamsendimports.com">saabmasternopsamsendimports.com</A><A HREF="mailto:saabmasternopsamsendimports.com"></A> <P>We have original oxygen sensors and universal ones as well. The universal sensors are $43.79 <BR>and the originals are $159.77, both made by Bosch. With the universal sensor, you need to <BR>splice the wiring. <P>Ywan Mason</HTML>
