Hi everyone. I have an 89 toyota camry. It has 105k miles on it. (Literally only driven to church on sunday my my wife's grandmother). It started with the dying under load from stop on rainy day problem. So I went out and got a new distributor cap and rotor. I figured I'd try that first and if it didn't work, i'd swap out the coil next.
So I went to remove the cap and noticed that the bottom bolt had sheered off, and the cap was ever so slightly loose (maybe allowing water under the cap). When I removed the other two, the one on top and front was a little stiff but came out without too much trouble. But the one on the back in the middle sheered off.
So now I have only one bolt with with to attach the distributor cap. I could probably get some nutbuster on the bolt halves still in the engine. But I'm not sure I can get the bolts out since they're so hard to get to.
So my question is, has anyone come up with an easy way to extract these bolts? Any other ideas?
I considered gluing the cap back on with RTV or something to seal out the water. Should I try that or some other adhesive?
