My friend's 1990 ford tempo stalls sometimes, i tried to help her with it cause i do not want her to get ripped off.
First i changed the plug wires because they were split and the plugs,the car started many times,and then after i took it for a test drive for about one mile then stalled and it wouldn't start again, after several tries,i started to check my snugnesh of the wires i realized the distributor is loose, cause somebody else she told me worked on that disributor.
Please tell me the steps involved to tighten that distributor.
Thank you so much guys.
