I have endeavored to forget the entire Tucson episode, but let's take that horror-dash down memory lane.

Ah yes, I was happy--briefly!

I had a P1381 an hour from Tucson. Supposedly it was a sensor inside the distributor that cannot be purchased separately. My credit card was acting up. I bought a distributor, but it didn't work, and when I went to see if I had lined it up wrong after all, having shown the woman that I drove to see that it only works one way, I saw that the gear collar was bent.

That was the only one that O'Reilly's had in-town and I couldn't find one through their competitors. I finally swapped sensors from the new distributor into my old one, the code went away, and everything was fine until I was an hour from Tucson, when the code returned.

While I was in Tucson that girl acted head-over-heels in love with me, but once I left town she was cold.

I received a warranty replacement distributor and my car has run perfectly for almost 4 months.
