Easiest way to check for injector pulse is a noid light.

I tested the injectors with a noid light and I have injector pulse. Someone mentioned an auto shut down relay. Which relay is that? Any other suggestions. Thanks

Um You say there is oil in the distributer? Are you talking about the cap? Because oil in the cap will kill it. I don't know how oil would get in the cap but I know it doesn't belong there.. Good luck with that.

If there is oil inside the distributor then it's bad. Oil will mess it up inside get a used one and swap it out.
