Hi Karl, Thanks on the reminder, I will check that tonight. The investment in parts needs to be made regardless; I have no service records for the van and it's not had a tuneup since I bought it back last April. If the gas milage goes back to normal the parts will be paying for themselves anyway. Yes, I know the distributor is not a tune-up part. But my current distributor has the hall sensor connector held in place with a cable tie, and the cost difference between a hall sensor replacement kit and a complete new distributor is only $120 so for the price I figured I might as well go with a complete new unit. </Greg> Quoting Karl Wolz <wolzphoto@GMAIL.COM>: > Check those ground wires before you put money into parts.
