1986 Cadillac Fleetwood V8, Front Wheel Drive, Automatic, 134000 miles, 4100 engine My 86 Cadillac Fleetwood with a 4100 engine just stopped running one day. Took it to a mechanic he said that the cam walked, gear ground on distributor. He replaced the gear and cam button. Drove it for about 100 miles and it just stopped running. There have been no enginee warning issues. It just stopped running. It turns over but doesn't start. Any idea what it could be? THANKS!

Pull the cap off & crank the engine. See if the rotor is turning. That's where I'd start as there has been distributor issues in the past.

Thanks for the starting point. Our old mechanic started to pull the distributor off and then we took the car back from him because he didn't know what he was doing. We will put the distributor back on and try what you suggested. I will let you know what happened. THANKS!
