Drive your cars man. I would rather have a car that has been through 10 engines and has 1million miles on the Odometer than just looking at a car in the driveway. I suppose to each his own.

Sounds like your optispark (distributer) took a crap.

Check it for codes? A bad opti will give you a DTC. Also, whats the car exactly doing? Dealers love to just blame the opti and go from there. It could be a bad ignition coil.

Check to make sure your water-pump isnt going down on you. Let your car idle and check to see if any coolant is coming out of the weep hole of the waterpump. When coolant lands on the opti (distributo) it'll blow everytime. Good Luck.
