Has it been aligned properly?
Would I be correct in saying that to align the phase sensor I should put the crank at No 1 TDC. Check that the rotor arm points to the scribe mark on the upper face of the distributor? I will confirm this later!
With this in mind, I did notice that there was quite a bit of play in the rotor arm. Approx 15 degrees!!!!
I have a new rotor and cap coming from you guys (ordered from Steve) this week so would definitely be worth a try! Would this explain why it is only happening when hot though??
