Worse than an accident: dealing with insurance! 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Sat Mar 1 04:55 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Over the past few months, I have posted questions about a rough idle (engine and entire car shake excessively at rest with moderately high hydrocarbon and CO emissions but no problems on driving), but none of the replies helped. I checked hoses for vacuum leaks, changed oil, checked timing and idle speed, cleaned my injectors. Finally, I broke down (no pun intended) and took the car to a mechanic. The mechanic claimed that the "fuel distributor" which is a silver cylinder located under the intake manifold needed adjustment. He claimed that one needs a "computer" to do this adjustment. The car still idles a little rough now
