    Angry Help!?!

    I have been working on my car for the last 2 weeks, it just died on me on my way home one night, and after replacing the cap, rotor, coil, wires, and plugs......still nothing, then I replaced the ignition control module it fired right up, but heres the problem.....I broke a bolt in the distributor so i had to take the distributot into the machine shop to have the bolt removed, in order to take it off I had to remove the reluctor and the pickup coil to be able to take the distributor in, then I put everything together and now it wont idle after its done warming up it just dies.......anyone know how to help?

    did you connect the vacuum lines correctly?
    make sure they are not cracked.

    I think Alex is speaking about the plethera of hoses everywhere. The ones that go to the emissions box the the corner of the engine. I stopped counting after a few dozen. It sucks that your are in Cali, or I would tell you to rim em out.

    Which bolt did you snap? One that holds the cap on? If so check that the distributor cap didn't get cracked.
