Is everyone in this car ok?

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder. So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five very old ladies - two in the front seat and three in the back - wide-eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, Officer, I don't understand. I was doing exactly the speed limit. What seems to be the problem? Ma'am, the office replies, You weren't speeding but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers. Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly... Twenty-Two miles per hour the old woman says, a bit proudly. The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that 22 was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car ok? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time, the officer asks. Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer. We just got off Route 119.

    If you're getting oil in your distributor, that could be the culprit. And yes, it could be a situation where your car would run almost perfectly at idle but would not run well when trying to accelerate if your distributor has oil in it. Unfortunately, that's not the only possible problem. It sounds like you have addressed most of the potential causes, so I'm wondering if you may have another problem like a blown head gasket. You may want to check your oil -- if there's radiator fluid in your oil that's a sure sign of a blown gasket or a cracked head. My advice is to start with the distributor and see if replacing that or getting the oil out solves your problem. If that doesn't work, check your oil and check all your gaskets for possible leaks. If that doesn't work, in this case you'd be best off taking it to the dealer and paying them the $85.00 or whatever it costs to tell you what's wrong.
