Off topic but kind of connected to this subject (maybe if anyone feels like answering mail me off-list so as not to bother everyone else): How do modern engines work that don't have a distributor? I have come to the obvious conclusion that messing with (and hopefully learning something about) my VW has taught me almost nothing about my other cars, which are about 30 years younger, to the extent that I can't even identify the parts that I can see under the bonnet (hood). That is of course, if you can see them. The Ford Focus has black plastic covers over most things, which obviously mean "Keep out!" Whatever the plug wires on my 1999 Hyundai Accent (1500cc FI) go into, it's obviously not a distributor, as it's rectangular. Can I assume it's some kind of solid-state, computerized gizmo that does the same job?
