Anyway...a $57.00 bill later and no closer to finding the trouble, although it runs fine now. Weird.

Hope it doesn't leave me on the side of the road any time soon.

$57.00 is a lot cheaper than a new distributor!

Could have been corrosion in the MAF contacts. Isn't engine gremlins fun in an older vehicle?
