What causes erattic power especially when cold under avg to light throttle load has new cap rotor plugs?
Hi, Since youv'e replaced your cap and rotor you also might look at your wires. They could have one cracked because when cold there could be some moisture that gets in and when the engine has run a while and the wires are warm the moisture is eliminated. You could have also broken a wire slightly when you replaced the cap, also did you remember to put the dielectric grease in the wire ends before you put them back on the cap and is the coil wire on securely? Those are what I would look for first. Good luck to you.
How do you remove rotor button on 5.7 V8?
These things got really stuck sometimes. If you intend to replace the rotor, I have found that it is often easier to squeeze the old rotor with "channel lock / water pump pliers and shatter it. This prevents the possibility of damagintg the Hall Effect Switch under the rotor. Put a dab of dielectric grease on the shaft before you install the new rotor. Good Luck!

buy a new distributor cap and rotor. Unscrew the distributor cap (on the drivers side of the engine block), take note how the existing rotor is sitting, remove it, and place the new rotor in the same position. Put on the distributor cap and screw it into place... very simple job. thats how you change the rotor......he asked about the distributor....try again.
