Tonyfnb, are you in the US or somewhere else in the world? I know you said you were looking on the Rockauto website but that doesn't necessarily mean you're in the US. I ask because other parts of the world never saw the GEMS fuel injection system that was in the US DI models from 1996-1999. In your profile, there's a way for you to enter your location so people offering advice don't have to guess where you are. Look at Drowssap's posts and you'll see he's in Boston, I'm in CT. It can really help people offering advice.
Now, if, in fact you are in the US, run, don't walk away from the mechanic that told you you have a distributor. As Drowssap said, you have a distributorless ignition system. The fuel injection system you should have in your vehicle is called GEMS and stands for Generic Engine Management System. It was the first OBDII fuel injection system Rover offered. It was mandated by US regulations. Other parts of the world did not require OBDII compliance until years later. That's why I say that some parts of the work never even saw GEMS. They went straight from the older Lucas 14CUX fuel injection system (OBDI compliant AND using a distributor) to the Bosch (OBDII distributorless) system.

Maybe I should ask you seems how you seem to know your stuff..obviously now I'm doing my own stuff...I ordered some wires and plugs...I had to change my fuel pump so I ordere a fuel filter, oil filter, air filter, oil....if I'm wanting to do a tune up myself what else should I worry about cleaning/buying? It has under the "wires and plugs" adjust ignition timing & adjust curb idle speed should I worry about that?
Also I have a $100 "3 part fuel system cleaning" my buddy said that is dumb and not to worry about it? Is this true? Like I said I did replace my pump and filter soon...also when I got this off the side of my parents house I filled it up and put 2 fuel thingies in it from advanced...like octabe booster and something else or whatever
Thanks...jeez that's a book and I still have to reply to ur other message lol...might as well just fly you out
