Re: dies randomly at idle in gear
Well I finally got my fuel line adapter to test the pressure and it is a solid 11psi so that is ruled out.
So today I yanked the distributor out and I believe I found the problem as you guys suggested.
These dists are super simple with only a few parts. I chose to replace the pickup and module in mine. I don't have any pics but the retainer clip for the pickup was broken and half of it gone. The magnet part has bits missing. The shroud over the pickup was bent where those loose pieces got jammed up in there. So I spent considerable time straightening that shroud and cleaning up in there then replaced the pickup and module. I dropped it back in there and got it timed up. At this time it appears to idle a bit smoother in park and in gear. I haven't driven it yet. But I feel good about the repair.
I'll post back if the issue returns once it's driven a bit. Thanks guys.
