There is two screews that hold the cap on ,remove them. Then just pull the rotor
up and off. It will only go on 1 way. Transfur wires to new cap while keeping them in order.
The rotor button is inside the distributor cap.
Check the coil and replace if bad. Should fix the problem.
there is no distributor on a 98 rav. therefore no cap or rotor. replace the plugs and wires and the tuneup is done
No need to unless it is due for a tune up.
I have never heard of this - I don't think that there should ever be oil inside the cap and rotor of any car. If you have oil in the cap or rotor you probably have yourself a messed up situation requiring it necessary to replace both the cap and the rotor.
Defective new cap/rotor?
Under the distributor cap.
under the distributor cap and rotor button
Yes it does it is under the distributor cap.
Firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Move #1 cylinder to where piston is up, and on the compression stroke (TDC). Easiest way to do this is with a compression tester on the #1 cylinder - rotor cap OFF. When you see the pressure build...you're on the compression stroke. The rotor cap should be at the #1 cylinder firing position...simply re-install the rotor cap at this time - noting which button is #1. Starting at #1 install the wire for the #1 cylinder onto the rotor cap...the next button (clockwise) on the cap should correlate to #8; the third button on the rotor cap is, cylinder #4..and so on. work your way around the rotor cap until you have all 8 cylinder wires in place...ignition coil wire in the middle button. Engine should start and run.
Once you get the distributor cap off you should be able to pull the button off without a problem. Just remember to install the new button in the exact position you pulled the old one off.
It is a good idea to replace them at the same time as your regular tune-up.
