3.6 motor saga... distributor clues.
Well, Ingo suggested that the 993 motor should idle OK with either distributor connected, so:
I unplugged the coil wire from distributor #1. No change. I unplugged the coil wire from distributor #2. Engine promptly dies. Does this mean I'm running on only one set of plugs? Is this normal? Thanks in advance for your help.

It should idle on either. You have a problem w/ the one set of plugs.

hallo
Take the Cap of the Distr. if you can turn it free the Belt is broken . This is the Distr. hanging free ,the other one has the Shaft going into the Engine . If that is ok take the Wire from the working Distr, and put it on the non Working . If it works now you have a Problem in the Circuit to the Coil . Harald |
