Hey got a 88 camry. I was driving down the road and it lost all power and died. I went to look at fixing it and found my distributor cap full of oil. Not used to working on anything foreign. Can someone help me with any info. I have a handicapped girl who requires this for her transportation to get her to the doctors office. Please any information would be appreciated.

Hi there,

fit a replacement distributor as the oil has damaged the internal electronics, and make sure the outer "O" ring seal is also replace, this should see you right for many mile to come.
