So I got a dizzy off somebody froms craigslist....put it out it ran perfect...ran good for 2 days...i went to go out to lunch on my break and the check engine light comes on it starts backfiring occasionally and bogs down..I took it back to work hooked up a scanner and pulled the check engine code...it was for the map sensor...idk if the timings off and the misfiring fucked up the map sensor or what I loosened the dizzy and turned it a little bit and cleared the code and 1/2 way home it did the same thing....anybody know something I dont that could help?

did you check the cap and rotor to see if they look worn out, if so you can fix it temporally by getting sand paper and sanding down the contacts.

A map sensor has nothing to do with your distributor.
It sounds like your problem is related to wiring or your ecu/map sensor.
This kind of issue can't really be diagnosed over the internet.

well if the time timing was off from the distributer and it misfires..cant that mess up the map sensor...i pulled off the dizzy and turned it 180 degrees and its running fine (for now)

Like I said, the map sensor has nothing to do with the distributor.

I know if i rotate my dizzy 180* it doesnt sit flush with the cylinder haed and it wont start. how did you get it to sit flush on the head?

AEballer

i did it at 11 at night and probably didnt notice it was sitting flush or not...but it still started and ran...both ways
