Re: '93 Geo Metro Problem - Intermitant and Enigmatic

Today I noticed that the Tachometer was jumping when the Metro bucked !

It jumps UP 100 - 200 rpm and drops back down when the car misses.
Once it jumped way up - maybe 1,000 !

NOW I am wondering if the Distributor is going South.....
the bucking (missing) is getting worse - especially going up hill.
Spark advance ?

The Metro has no mechanical points - as of old.
Does it have a Magnetic or Optical point type spark input ?
Is that fixable ?

I will call around to see if the Foreign Parts people have a Distributor.....

Maybe NAPA or O'Reilly's or Autozone have rebuilt ones.
