Only running on five cylinders

["Payne" <bpayne@xxxx>]

After the cold weather started, for some reason my baby will only run on
five cylinders. Everything was perfect up until then, aside from some minor
hesitation in the morning. After checking the injectors (the ones I can get
to) and finding them clean, I've just decided to do a tune up and replace
the distributor cap, rotor, plugs, wires, and coil.

Now comes the hard part. I can't even see the distributor. I've only
caught a brief glimpse in all my crawling around in then engine bay and it's
very disheartening. I can't even tell what I have to remove. I tried a
couple of things, but someone had the cruel joke of filling a few bolt heads
with glue. Do I have to take off the fuel distributor and the entire
intake? I've searched around and found nothing documented on distributor
removal. Unfortunately there are no shops in my small town that will even
work on it, let alone that can be trusted. I've had to give up my futile
attempts to preserve my dwindling sanity.

Would there happen to be any kind souls out there who have done this at home
and could send me a few tips? I miss my DeLorean! Every day I'm not
driving her is torture. If you could, please contact me at

Thank you for all your time!
