the distributor was what was wrong with mine as well.
giving me the same problems, "would not idle in Drive"
while driving shes FINE, but as I slow down to a stop DEAD, then crank right back up...
no codes, no vaccum leaks, no bad sensors, good fuel pump, good plugs/wires everything checked out.
I took my 93 (with 125k) to three different grease monkeys and NO ONE could find the problem, then finally broke down and took it to the dealer, i was @ my wits end and ready to give up!
$525 later
but I cant lie I was GLAD to pay it, shes running like a champ
