There is a ignition control MODULE in the distributor. You will have to remove the cap and rotor. There are 2 small screws that hold it in place it will also have electrical connectors plugged into both ends of it. That will probably be the problem.
a problem with the distributor
Others suggest the distributor
Bad steering rack? Bad steering gear? Pitman arm?
First guess would be the pick up coil in the distributor
It's possible that theres a spark problem. Check the wires plugs and distributor. Hope that helps.
No, my steering is fine.
I don't know what your specific problem is, but there is no distributor cap.
The only dangers that might arise from driving a vehicle with a failing power steering pump is burning up/breaking the belt that is driving the pump IF and ONLY IF the pump seizes up. The other problem you might have is the increased effort to steer the car. As long as the increased effort while driving is not a problem you can at least drive it to a service station to get it repaired.
I had a 1990 nissan maxima that use to do that and the problem was my rack and pinion bushings were bad
I never flushed a power steering unit in my 43 yr's of driving and never had a problem with a power steering unit, it's just a money maker for the garages and doesn't have to be done.
i just had that problem (crank angle sensor) under the distributor cap...just got one for about $180 but never stalled while driving again ...saves the headache get one!!!
