Good tips ..if only maintenance was done it be steady....I keep changing this every 3 months and my trucks love love love it...

[@herbieolivares1740]

would you recommend changing out the whole distributor just in case? Ican buy these parts for around $40-$45 or the whole distributor and crankshaft sensor for $75

[@G.Harley.Davidson]

There is a sensor wire that is rubbing the insulation off and grounding it, which shuts the ECM Down . After changing everything, all the sensors it probably corrected the Wiring and started again.

So you dont really know which part actually fixed the problem

[@MitchGaar]

so just throw the parts canon at it? why not diagnose.

[@fortyoung3395]

Bro literally said they used a scanner on it and it didnt show nothing
