Adam,

As well as Ernie's suggestion, you might have some cracks in the distributor caps. Has it been rainy or have you washed your motor lately?

I had the same problem after being caught in a heavy rain for about 30 miles. The next day it acted up as yours and I removed the caps while trouble-shooting and found cracks and moisture inside. I must add that the seal on the cam was seeping oil also. After cleaning it up it ran like before.

Since your taking it in for all those replacements, have them check both cam seals while they are in there. You know, you could do all this work. It would take a couple of hours at the most and the tools in your tool-roll.

Just a thought, Joe
