If you pull the distance cap and find a bunch of corrosion in it make sure the small screen is clear

small screen ????

Base of distributor has a small screen, it's common for it to clog with corrosion.

That's an Ozone relief vent.

what issues could happen if stopped up, and is it supposed to be green lol

Carbon tracking, misfiring.

They usually get pretty nasty in there.

You can't just unplug the intake coolant temp sensor to test it, plug it into a new one and leave it laying on the intake manifold. If it fixes the problem, swap it out. If not, keep it handy, you'll likely need it sooner or later anyway

If the spark is white it won’t fire under compression, that’s a weak spark. Went through this with an old dirt bike I had.
