I have a 1993 Nissan Altima and yesterday i was driving and i accelerate i get to around 5000 RPM and the car starts to miss a little bit. I come home and the distrbutor cap has corrosion on the inside. I change the cap and take it for a drive and it drives normal. I come home and i go to leave again and the car is driving fine,so i give it a little more gas and at around 5000 RPM again it starts breaking up/ missing. The car had a tune up about 18000 or 19000 miles ago could i just need another tune up or could it be something else. Please help!!
