here's the deal... every once in awhile, my car will die. it may die when i'm driving along, or it'll die at a light, or it'll just not start. it's done it four times in the last three days. i let it sit for a while, and it starts back up. oh, and sometimes the car will drop to zero RPM's while i'm driving, and then jump back up less than a second later. the starter cranks. i checked the spark during starting after it's died, and there is none. so the problem is definately electrical. it was doing this a couple months ago, and i replaced the ignition control module, and that seemed to end the problem... but... now i suspect the distributor. am i right? has anyone had to deal with this shit before?
