hey guys. i finaly found out why my engine runs funkey. throwing codes for a muli cylinder missfire i changed out all the parts i thought of and no result. after months of trying to figure this out i got a tip from a friend who said to check the distributer shaft and see if its loose. bingo.. the shaft is loose. would anyone happen to know how to go about either tightning the shaft or replaceing the distributer?
