Car died... and now it won't start... help!!!

they checked the distributor today and called this mechanic we know and told him about it... he said something about an amplifier or something on there somewhere... and my brother said the cap and rotor had corrosion and stuff in it... they are gonna try and fix it tomorrow

**and speaking of it being hot... i'm in mississippi... yesterday it was so hot my front acura emblem melted off my car... i shut my door and heard something fall off my car and walked around front and it was on the ground.. the glue was very very warm lol**
