Dist rotor mystery
Has anyone ever had their distributor rotor come loose,while driving!?
The other day,I went to the store,and as I got out on the street,my truck stumbled,and died. Since I was low on fuel,I figured it was out of gas(I was heading for the station,from the store).I hit the key,and it started up,and ran fine,all the way to the station. I got gas,and drove 4 miles home,without a problem,but,as I pulled into the drive,it stumbled,and died,again! So,I started checking,and when I took off the distributor cap,I found that the rotor had one screw holding by 2 threads! The other had loosened,but not fell out. Strangely,neither the cap,nor the rotor was damaged! The rotor was installed,by me,3 months ago,and I had used blue locktite on the threads. Since the hood release is inside,and I lock my doors,I can't say it was someone playing with it,but I KNOW it was tight ! Any ideas?
