Distributor got fried

Well, some of you may already know but for those of you who dont, my car died Saturday night. I thought the engine finally bit the dust since its got 201,000 miles on it but i took closer look today. I took off the distributor cap and found that the internal ignition coil thing was just burnt to a crisp. Looked like there was almost a mini explosion in there! The cause was most likely a loose rotor screw cuz it was real loose and wobly when i looked at it today. So, just a heads up to you all, keep an eye on that screw, its definitly a notorius problem in our civics/crx's and can cause some major problems.
