The word 'affected' is the past participle, past tense of the verb to affect. The past participle of the verb also functions as an adjective. Examples:

The spring flooding affected areas along most of the river. (verb)

After a small fire, our insurance covered the cost of the affected inventory. (adjective)

The intervention of the French Navy definitely affectedthe outcome of the Battle of Yorktown. (verb)

"Many students were affected when their favorite teacher announced her retirement."

Which word do you use in this sentence ........The effected parts caused the problem?

I would use the word "affected" rather than "effected" in that sentence. The word "affected" would be an adjective in that sentence. The word "effected" is used as a verb. The following sentence would make sense: The affected parts effected a situation that caused our problem. Of course, if "effected" is the correct word, it would bring about a different meaning of the sentence. The effected parts caused the problem that affected our car's engine. That implies that the parts had been acted upon by an external source. These words are difficult to keep straight. However, do not trust me! I highly recommend that you use a dictionary for this. I think I remember that "affect" sometimes can be a verb. The sentence I used: "The effected parts caused the problem that affected our car's engine." I believe in that sentence "affected" is used as a verb, and "effected" is used as an adjective. Please, use the dictionary. I recommend Webster's Dictionary; I believe they update annually.
