I posted a message regarding this. Running rough at idle. Very little power when driving, pings and misses like crazy, dies when in gear. Undrivable.

Anyway I suspected the AMM at first. Disconnected it and it still runs the same. I assume I have good fuel pressure (runs rich), blue spark on all but (#3 and #4 cause it do die while #1 and #2 has no effect at idle). I been zapped so many times. And no leaks with the FRP.

I checked the AMM and get good ohms, wire still in tact. Then I decided to open it (doh). It's half way opened with some broken housing pieces. The glue or adhesive won't budge. I need to now open it now and reseal the damn thing.

So I changed the dist cap and rotor, while doing so I mucked up the hall sensor connector. NEVER move the dust cap! I think it have may damaged one of the wires (again). I removed the distributor and noticed that the hall sensor had a brown gunk (huge amounts) all over it and in the distributor. Ahh, I said it must have burnt or something. Disasmebly of the distributor is a bitch. After banging out the stupid 'dog pin' and finally taking it apart. The brown gunk turn out to be an epoxy and it was holding the sesnor in. It was applied in unclean manor leaving a circular trail (gunk) all around it.

SO now How do I remove the AMM hot plate?
I did replace a ball joint without any hitches (old one was real worn)
