When I pulled out of the gas station I got on it a little because traffic was heavy.
Left turn out and sure enough the car dies. A little quick thinking and I pull it into the left turn only lane. I crank the engine but it won't catch, sounds like it is dieseling a little and just no good.
Flashers on I carefully jump out (oncoming traffic) and lift the hood all the while hoping someone doesn't smack me while texting.
I can see where the connector for the distributor has come apart. (I am starting to wonder if I have a bad motor mount..)
So I plug it back in and close the hood. I look over at the gas station and there is about a half a dozen guys watching me. I yell out 'no problem, I got it' and they all kind of smile and laugh.
I get in and it fires right up. The guys started cheering and clapping.
It was a great moment.
With the top down I gave them a thumbs up and drove away.
