There's stickies on the top of this section of the 6gc Forum

one of the threads will show you this sticky:

Go to page 19 on the PDF file and follow the instructions for the CEL #12 for distributor resistance. This will tell you if your Distrib is GAY thumbsup.gif

The crank sensor is near the oil pump housing........so HOPE its not the problem.

Start with the Distrib ^^ then move on to the Ignition Module, the the connectors on the ECU.

Cheapest Part ---Most expensive

I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
