Dear muskox37,

Hope you're well. Such things happen. A Brickboarder recently reported that he ran his car for about three minutes, without any oil in the engine.

He was interrupted during an oil change: someone then asked him to let the engine idle, that a possible exhaust leak might be found. Happily, the engine was "cold" and the ambient temps were moderate: the engine seems not to have suffered any obvious damage.

I recently replaced a distributor cap, the rotor and plug wires. The car an fine. A few days later, it began to vibrate horribly. I checked and found one plug wire had come-off the distributor cap. No idea why: the others were solidly in place.

In short, as penance, do 500 push-ups (SAS/Ranger-style: feet up on a chair)....

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
