Lost a screw

Lost a screw

Screw came out of the distributor rotor. It stalled out yesterday, but it started again after some cranking. Stalled out when I pulled into work today. Tried to restart it, but it wouldn't start. Made some nasty pings in the exhaust when it stalled and when I was cranking, so I figured it was ignition. Nothing weird in the data logs. Fuel pressure gauge showed good pressure. I went out on my lunch break to investigate. I figured I'd pull the cap. Found this busted rotor. Dropped the screw on the trans and had to dig around in the muck to find it. Slapped it back together and drove it home. I'm making sure to use loctite next time
