1998 Nissan 200 SX distributor module

I have had to replace 2 distributor modules in one month. Any suggestions as to why this module fails? I have had a oil leak for some time that several mechanics have not been able to find the source of, could low oil pressure be causing this module to fail? Is there a low oil pressure shut down on this engine (engine 1.6) Thank you

no low pressure shut down... how can a tech not find an oil leak.. clean the engine start it and look for where oil is coming out.. do you mean you replaced the distributor assembly?

[beachlover]

yes had the assembly replaced twice

Are the assemblies factory or aftermarket? Aftermarket tend to have a low reliability rate. If factory check for possible secondary leaks in dist. such as rotor shorting to dist. shaft high voltage leaking can short out modules.
