Try some silicone window lube in the chanels. Lube the metal tracks too. If no change & the problem has been getting worse gradually, then replace the motor.

Replace the distributor. Rich Porter **** on ebay is $200. Best deal.

Hope this helps.

Take off the rotor to see if there is a broken piece. The rotor is made by plastic, but the shaft that it holds on is made of metal and engaged with the gear from the engine. If the shaft is not turning from it is then there is a serious problem; need to visit the auto shop. If it becomes like that because you removed the distributor then try to reinstall it so the shaft gear can engage with engine gears. Good luck.

A check engine light won't tell you if you have bad spark plugs and/or wires, I would check there first.
