Did tune up on my 97 jimmy but now it has rough Idle.. Need help
I have a 1997 jimmy I had a friend do my tune up and now it has a very rough idle but still runs. When I stop at a light it feels like it want to cut off but don't. He said one of the screw heads on the rotor broke so its being held down with one screw. Can this be the cause of the rough idle? The cap is tight though. Because of what he did I was considering replacing the whole distributor with a new one that comes complete with cap and rotor already installed on it. What do you guys think? Any info will be highly appreciated

If it's the rotor, DEFINITELY and that used to happen all the time on SBC's Surely you can find way of working that screw out.
If it's a cap screw broke in the base.. ah, well.
You really dont want the hassle of replacing that dist if you can get around it. Might as well take it to a shop if you want it to run right afterward.
