True. Wires shoulda been changed with tune up. And if distributor is swapped thatll include cap and everything right? So even with good wires when its turned the bad connection from the cap would still turn up. Ill find out tomorrow mornging if the new distributor works or not. Think it was like 50$ piece, why not? It is a remanufactured engine with only 10k on it or so. And from what we know it was running only three cylinders the whole time after I got the new engine, ran fine seemingly after coming off of a 200k original tired motor even without one cylinder firing. So just hoping to have it back running better than ever with all four gerbils kicking under the hood. Its a clean little loyale with "new engine" and hoping to lift her up and make her look and run good on and off road. 2'' lift plus tires and shocks if the engine wants to comply!

Did a full tune up. And I think mechanic ruled those all out (spfi). If distributor doesnt change things. Could it come down to the coil? I think he said when he turned the distributor the cylinder not firing changed from the #1 to a different one. Which is why the distributor is the next step. And Thanks

New here. Trying to get my 94 Loyale up and running again. It is firing on only 3 cylinders and my mechanic has run through most everything now thinking it is the distributor. Just wondering how common a bad distributor is on these and if that doesn't fix it andybody got any other ideas? Much appreciated.
