1999 Mercury Villager 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 220K miles
The car will start and run (typically fine) but after driving about 10 minutes it will start missing and jumping. It may stall and be hard to start or not start at all. I've replaced cap, rotor, plugs, wires air and fuel filter. Cleaned throttle body and mass air flow sensor. No difference.
I disassembled the distributor but I don't see any evidence of a mechanical issue with the encoder or sensor.
What's the most likely thing here? I hate to through a distributor at something like this. Are there a few cheaper possibilities first?
