Answer
Thomas,

Check the distributor for oil on the optical pickup and shutter wheel.  To do this remove the cap, rotor, rotor post (it is held on by a phillips screw) and then the cover which is also held on by a couple oc phillips screws.  Under the cover is a disc and an LED with a pickup.  Looks like the insides of your computer mouse.  If there is oil on the optics replace the distributor.  The problem should be solved.
