Hi guys,

got a B18B1 and have had some random problems with the car starting, and then dying suddenly (only happened 3 times in the past month or so).

Also, today, it started that sometimes at idle, the RPM needle will jump like 1000rpm, but the engine itself is not reving. ...the rpm gaugage is like having a spasm.

So, I was told that sometimes that the rotor button, so I replaced the cap and rotor, and nothing has changed.

It also sounds a little bit "squealy" under the hood, like maybe a slight tea-kettle sound? or a faint belt sound? I dunno how to describe it, but I'm PRETTY sure it's not the sound of my intake.

Any ideas? I'm thinking it could be the distributor....if so, how much do they run and how hard is it to change on the b18?
