My neighbor was hoping I could look at her car for her, she has a 300zx that looks like the power steering pump is failing. I offered to put it up on some jack stands and take a look for the leak, figure it might be an O-ring and at worst a line to replace.

she also asked if there could be something wrong with an distributor she had, it does not appear that there is anything that can wear out inside this one, there’s a disk that has a bunch of slots that face a sensor. I figure it’s some type of hall sensor. I think she might want to replace the distributor rotor and cap as they show signs of wear at the electrode, but nothing that is too alarming.

Is there anything else I should be aware of before getting under this car?

 

 

If the rotor looks that bad imagine how the plugs look.  Have fun changing those.  It's tight in there.  Plug wires are probably toasty too.

Man I wish I had small hands sometimes, that 240sx was a pain to work on because I could not get my hand into the proper spot. 😕
