hello, in the last year I have put in 2 distributors, from advance auto
parts, in my 1998 dodge stratus es. the first one was because the coils in
it was bad. the second one was because the cam position sensor was bad. now
exactly one year from the time i replaced the second one I'm having the same
problem again, p0240 cam position sensor,and the symptoms are exactly the
same.
i'm beginning to think it's time to find a different place or manufacturer
for my distributor. they gave me a lifetime warranty on this part ,but i
don't want to change this out every year. any suggestions or thoughts?
thanks

1 - Why would you replace a distributor if the cam sensor is the problem?
2 - You don't have a distributor. You have a coil pack.

Don't forget the "P0240" code. That's a tough one to diagnose on the
Stratus.
