Dizzy problems

so my car stalled out 2 weeks ago, checked for spark and had none. so i went to a local junk yard and picked up another distributor for 50 bucks, put that in and it worked great. two days later my car stalls out again. after being towed to my house and i check and no spark! so i assume its the distributor again. does it sound logical that a distributor would last only that long even being from the JY? i was wondering if something could be causing the distributor to break? i know my fuel pump works cause i can hear it when i turn the key, and the same goes for the main relay.

Have you pulled the cap off and checked the screw that holds the rotor on? That seems to be the culprit of alot of distributor problems in the 4th gens.

what aftermarket parts do you have on your engine?

i replaced the cap, plugs and rotor when i got the newer dizzy, so i dont think would be it but i'll double check to see if its loose.


my car is completly stock. oh and is there any way to check and see if the dizzy shot besides replacing it. thanx for the help
