I was hoping for some advice... I was driving down the highway when all of a sudden the cars power stopped. I pulled to the side. Waited for about 20 minutes intermittently trying to start it while waiting for AAA. Then after about 20 minutes it started.
Before this happened I just filled the tank with gas and a month ago I had a mechanic replace the timing belt. I brought it to a local shop thinking it may be bad gas or fuel pump. They said an engine code popped up saying something about an ignition part in the distributor and it was cheaper to replace the entire distributor. Does this sound right? The replacement part is apparently 150 plus 150 to replace for 300. |

How hard is it to replace? Can you give me instructions? Bolts, wires etc?
I was a little afraid of the timing issue since I do not have a timing light tool. |
