The oxygen censor may be causing this problem. If this isn't the case then there may a problem with the coil pack.
Distributor = someone who distributes merchandise, wholesale products, etc. Distributer = a part of an automobile or car (like a regulator).
it's probably not, check your distributor, i had similar problems, changed regulator, fuel pump, car still would stall or hard start. it turned out to be my distributor. i will repeat, this is a problem with the villager, they go bad quick.
you have to take the top half of your air intake off not the whole thing and you'll see the regulator on the back of your engine beside your distributor
The Fuel pressure Regulator is located between the carburetor and distributor. Mounting screw is beneath the retaining bracket leaving about 3 inches to work with. * Remove distributor cap and rotor for access to retaining screw. * Remove fuel line connected to regulator * Remove rubber hose between throttle body and regulator * Using a #30 Torx bit (1/4 socket type) remove retaining screw located beneath the regulator mounting bracket. Space is very limited so use of 1/4 inch breaker bar may be necessary.
It can depend on what kind of car you have, some cars have a voltage regulator that lets your distributor get 12 volts on start but then drops voltage on run. sometimes the run resist wire burns out, so you only get power to your distributor on the start circuit. The old type voltage regulator were porcelain with two wire resisters.
turn your distributor cap left or right to see if its gonna hit. maybe your rotor button is burnt out. Worst come to worst its your distributor. check your oil pump regulator too.
drivers side rear by the distributor under the wiring harness. follow fuel line from under side
If it's carbureted you're actually looking for the "ignition module."But either way, it should be behind the distributor.
I have just finished fixing the voltage regulator on a dodge Dakota pickup. The voltage regulator is located on the center of the firewall behind the engine, it is near the coil pack that hooks up to the distributor, its a silver box, kinda square held on with two screws, you can pickup a new regulator for like $15 if you get the generic one, piston ring in Canada was the cheapest but napa had a cheap one too
Check to see if there is a internal advance mechanism in your distributor. On older GM models bushings would wear causing it to stick and causing a surge or bucking as the advance within the distributor would release. Your computer regulates the advance, however, have the distributor checked.
Sure wish I could get an answer to this question. I am completely stumped.
Which regulator and what year? You have a window regulator, voltage regulator, fuel pressure regulator to name a few.
