where does the hot wire come from going to the distributor on a chevy 350
There is no distributor cap as there is no distributor. There are 3 coil packs, each coil fires 2 spark plugs simultaneously.
It fires the plugs in the cylinders to ignite the mixture.
They are extremely rare! If you find one, hang on to it! Just kidding! All Thunderbirds with the supercharger as well as Cougars with supercharger have DIS...Distributor-less Ignition System. The computer fires the plugs without a distributor cap or rotor.
A distributor less system with waste spark.
In a 350 Ram Jet engine, when the number one cylinder fires, the distributor rotor is pointed towards the terminal for the number one cylinder in the distributor cap. This position ensures that the ignition spark is sent to the correct cylinder at the right moment in the firing order, allowing for optimal engine performance. Typically, this corresponds to the first cylinder on the front driver's side of the engine.
Check rotor check that distributor is rotating
There is no distributor cap or even a distributor on these engines since the 6 plug wires are connected in pairs directly to 3 coils on top of the ignition control module. This module energizes and "fires" the coils electronically without the need for a distributor. If you suspect ignition problems check plug wires first, then plugs, then the module and coils.
If everything is right internally then the distributor does. Rotating the distributor adjusts the exact time the spark plug fires. BUT There is a timing chain and timing marks on the crankshaft and the cam shaft. Then there is an electrical advance from the computer and the internal ignition module and pickup coil inside the distributor. Together these all can effect the timing.
No. The Saturn engine does not have a distributor, instead the engineers devised a "coil pack" system for the ignition. The ignition system is completely under the control of the computer; two separate coils fire to provide the spark. Each coil operates two cylinders, and each spark plug fires every time a piston comes to the top dead center position, meaning that the plug fires when the piston is at the top of the compression cycle and at the top of the exhaust cycle. No distributor, no timing to set.
Spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, dirt in the injctors.....
There is no distributor per say. It is electronically controlled and each plug has its own coil pack that emits a spark. And each coil pack fires two cylinders which is why you see the wires going towards the cyclinders closest to the firewall.
Bad distributor cap and/or spark plug wires. Bad timing belt.
