  • No Nothing... Help before I light this car on fire

    Driving to work.. engine turns off. No stutter.. just a complete drop of rpm. Tried to start it back up with no luck. It seemed I had no spark so I went ahead and replaced the cap, rotor, wires, coil and today I replaced the dist from a running car. What should I do to test and find my problem?

          yep, that happened to me. if your rotor isnt moving thats likely it! (take a moment to be happy that the b3 is non-interfernce)
          its not a hard job, theres nice marks that you line up, then just slip the belt on.
