I recently had a valve adjustment on my Honda Civic LX. I had to take the car back to the shop after picking it up as it ran rough. The shop did another adjustment and then suggested I replace the spark plugs and the distributor cap. I agreed. Less than 50 miles later, the car shut down on me while I was driving on the highway. I had the car towed to the shop and they later tol me an ignition switch in the distributor was bad and therefore the entire distributor needed to be replaced. Since I needed my car, I paid the @$400. Do you think the replacement of the distributor cap could have caused this problem? Why wouldn't this problem have been seen or diagnosed when the distributor cap was being replaced?
Thank You,
