re 'These included the distributor and the AFM. Should those items need replacement after eight years (but only about 30,000 miles)?" new or used ? If new they should be OK. if rebuilt..........perhaps less so. AFM fits with 'flat spot'. how bad a flat spot ? a weak spot in the acceleration curve, or just falls on its face ?
