I have a 1994 Dodge Colt ES 1.5L 4G15 engine, automatic tranny, 2wd 140,00 miles (1000) on a new engine. In the past 3 years I have had to replace the distributor 4 times. The last time the distributor was only 5 weeks old and had less than a thousand miles on it.
Does anyone know what is causing this to happen? Thanks for any help.

Are you replacing with rebuilds, or new?

I am replacing with rebuilds apparently new ones are prohibitively expensive. When I bought the car it already had a rebuilt in it so assume the original also failed.
