Anyone know the best way to get out a siezed bolt in a car that is immobile?
Speaking of bottom bolt's, well screw's in this case, the bottom screw on the distributor cap is a real bitch to get at and for some reason I haven't been able to get that out yet...all my screwdriver's are too long or the handle is too fat. #$^#%^#$%&^&*^&*
So no progress on figuring this out and with fall now here we lose the light so damn early now...

so you figured out why it was shutting off on you? did you check to make sure you were getting fuel? spark? etc. as far as that siezed bolt, its gonna be a bitch. id spray it with pb blaster or wd40 and let it sit for a while, is the bolt stripped?
also what kind of car do you have?
is it dpfi or mpfi?
