Stupid move that i did , the car ran weird and i open the hood and saw that one wire was off its plug but without the copper plug , the spark plug wire was just laying there on the side , didnt shut off the engine just wantes to plug it back to its place...my god , i was electrocuted for the 1st time , ill remember this for a long time , never happenned before , did you guys ever had a similar story , my leg hurts a bit and my back too , but im ok , i guess :)

Yep! My Duster was running weird. I had to keep on the gas pedal nearly all the time just a bit to keep it running. A progressively worsening problem. So on a lightly rainy day, I finally pull over, leave the car running and open up the hood hoping to see a red neon sign saying, I’m the issue right here! With a flashing arrow.

The ground is lightly wet, the hood opens up with water running down, I lean over the drivers fender to look in. I place my hand on top of the distributor and receive multiple sparks jolts racing down my arm. Ouchie! That smarts a little.

Well, that’s how I found out the distributor was loose.

Well, it happened again! About the same story except my feet slipped on the wet ground as I was leaning in and in loosing my balance and footing, my hand didn’t just touch the distributor again it just down right slammed it.
I didn’t just touched the distributor again! The surprise panic of the slip and near fall invoked while slipping I GRABBED the running cars distributor!
What made this worse was the ignition was upgraded to a MSD.
And it’s much more powerful than stock. This made the hand go numb for a few minutes. OUCH! I mean WOW AND OUCH!

I liken the shock to little Thor hammers wacking every nerve ending down the arm down and out to my side laying on the fender from the slip. Man! That hurt.

Heck of a lesson!
