Found a buddy who had this 94 Ford aspire who drove it to work....got like 40 miles per gallon.... but it now needs a distrubutor.... he took it to a guy who works for ford and plugged it into the computer and spit out that it definatly needs a distrubutor...it would run but not very good AT all.....

soo I found a distrubutor for 50 bucks and got hte car for 250..... awesoem condtion just needs a that part ...has new tranny....awesome but that..party needed..so I went to pick it up today.. and it wouldn't start.... soo now I got a 94 aspire in my driveway that dont run..... u guys think I got fucked or should buy that distrubutor and hope for hte best??? it has gas getting to it...plenty of it...has great compression....has spark...but plug 1 barly sparks at all.... and others aint the best...... just hoping I didn't get shafted

You could always sell me the car.

I had a similar problem with my 97 Aspire. It ran, but barely...misfired all the time. I was told by mechanic after mechanic that it was everyting but the distributor, but no one person could tell me what it really was. I bought a used distributor on ebay, spent 20 minutes installing it, and all the misfiring went away...problem solved.

Now I have another problem. One of the crankcase vent lines came loose this afternoon and blew all the oil out all over the engine. By the time I noticed the smoke cloud in the rearview mirror, the engine was history. Anyone have any ideas about an engine swap? What works, how difficult is it to swap, and what about hooking up the various sensors, etc.? Any help/adivce is appreciated.

Try Ebay for parts at reasonable prices. I needed a IAC valve for my Aspire. They run between $300.00 and $400.00 new. I found one rebuilt for $10.00 + 40.00 shipping and it works fine.
