ok, i replaced my dizzy about 4-5 months ago. got a new cap/rotor as well. recently i noticed my rotor is cracked so it doesnt spin with the dizzy and thats why my car wouldnt start. so i buy a new rotor today and go to put it on, but it loosely went on. i know its supposed to have some force to it, but i could take it on/off with no problem. I started the car anyway to see what happens (b/c i NEED to have it running) and sure enough it started just fine. but when i shut it off and try to start again it doesnt start. Im thinking there is something wrong with the dizzy and how it holds the rotor, anyone else know?

the locking pin is like the key on the cam gear and crank pully, cept it's much smaller.
