It's best to take it to the Chevy dealer where they can put it on their engine machine to find the problem instead of throwing parts at it.
sounds more like ignition problem. plugs, wires or distributor maybe.
Remove wires from old distributor and put on new one [one at a time, noting locations on distributor, or marking wires and locations]. Remove rotor [noting direction it is pointing] and replace with new one pointing in same direction].
i put new plugs wires and coil packs on my 1997 camaro it kept putting out a random misfire code a couple months maybe 2 after i had put all this new stuff into that car that crankshaft broke
The 1997 Escort LX 1.9 does not have a Distributor cap.. the plug wires go directly from the coil assembly to the spark plugs.
simply unbolt it and disconnect all the wires and then replace all the wires and bolt back into place done deal
On a 1997 Chevolet Camaro V6 3.8 L Model, it is located on the passenger side, under the hood, below the windshield (firewall). It will be a grey colored box with loads of wires coming out if it.
Follow the spark plug wires back from the sparkplugs. If you have a distributor, that's where you'll find the cap. If you DON'T have a distributor, you probably have coil packs and don't need to worry about the distributor caps.
You don't. the distributor is set at 0 degrees and the computer does the rest. With the crank at tdc, set the distributor at #1.
you dont its all controlled int he computer tune there is ZERO mechanical adjustment
Spark plug wires porous? Defective distributor cap? Defective ignition coil?
Yes
Yes.
