I took my 95 gt in for new cats and exhuast. the mechanic called and said, he noticed another problem. He said my distribtor was dumping gas into the cats. He said Iwould need anew distributor and module. Has anyone else had this problem? thanks in advance.

ok, I want you to follow my next words EXACTLY

1. go open your hood.

2. look at the distributor, look around it, underneath it, follow the 9 wires poking out from the top

3. tell me how the distributor is involved with dumping gas into your exhaust

4. get a new mechanic

I hear you. Iwas not sure if the module is telling the computer bad info? Or is it really the computer that is the proplem.

the ONLY thing I can think of is maybe your timing is way off so you're not getting proper combustion and the fuel isnt burning throughly

Dizzy controls the spark! ...need to ask exactly what's going on...

Call him and ask him exactly how this is happening and how he knows that is the problem and let us know what he says.

Step 1: Kick mechanic in the nuts.

Step 2: Go to garage down the road.

Check the fuel pressure at the #8 wire going to the module and if it's over a 160 psi you will also need to replace the coil as well, lol

Seriously you need to find a new mechanic or have him explain to the BBB
