no spark in one wire
I just came back from a trip and the 4wd wagon started driving crazy it bucks hard every few minutes under acceleration or steady speeds so I checked the usual spark plugs wires rotor cap which were replaced about 6 months ago and I realized there is no spark in one of the wires. What should I replace. I tried another set of wires and still no spark. Any one know where to get a distributor for cheap.

Any carbon arcing on the cap and rotor? It's not unheard of for a cap and rotor to only drop one cylinder...

I swapped out the distributor with the one on my si and its running fine now but lucky me my alt went out on the si. I got the bad distributor in the house with me but the screws are all shitty like someone tried to remove the ignitor before but couldn't get it loose. Where might I order a distributor from for a decent price or if any of you reading this have one you wouldn't mind boxing up and selling to me and shipping to chicago.......
Oh I checked for carbon but no such luck. Thanks for the help guys.....
