Hey guys I've had an issue with my 94 ST running rough until it reaches operating temps ever since I washed the motor. I pulled the plugs and replaced the plugs. There was no water in the chambers. I have pulled the dizzy cap off and there was some moisture inside. I have dried out the cap and sanded down the terminals inside. I have currently pulled the distributor out of the car. So how do I disassemble it to look for trapped water? I've pulled out the 4 main screws but the plastic covers are blocked from coming off by the rotor button. There isn't a screw or anything holding the rotor cap on but it seems stuck. They do come off right? I just don't want to break anything. Anyone with any experience with this please help.
Thanks This post has been edited by j0ch0a94ST: Dec 3, 2010 - 7:12 PM -------------------- |

by running rough do you mean its misfiring until it warms up? I'd check the secondary and primary sides of the coil and see if they are any good. Bad coils can cause misfires on cold starts until they dry out. Just an idea.
