91 2.9L Dying and weird tach reading

[Skooby]

Replaced the TFI just because.....
Anyway the truck will start idle fine then out of nowhere it just dies, but with the key still on the tach will continue to read and bounce and it sounds like a relay or something in the engine bay is rapidly clicking? What are the symptoms of a worn distributer?

Had one do something like that. It was the pick up coil inside the distributor. HAd to press it in. 1987 2.9.

Swap EEC relay out, or check connections for corrosion
