Engine will misfire, or may not start if enough wires are in the wrong place.
you have 2of the plug wires on the wrong plugs or distributor cap
It is either out of time, or you have one or more plug wires hooked to the wrong plug. If you did not move the distributor then you have the wires wrong.
Unplug the wires going into the distributor cap, be sure you know which wire goes to which terminal or your car will not start if they are wrong. Remove the 3 bolts that hold the plastic cap to the metal distributor. Put the new cap back on, replace the bolts, and plug the wires into the appropriate terminal.
on this old distributor there is a cap that holds the wires in place on the distributor. Is there a trick to remove top cap?
whats the motor.....but regardless if you follow the plug wires they lead to the distributor cap. v6 has 6 plug wires.....one to each plug and all of the on the distributor cap.......v8 has 8 plugs with their wires leading from each plug to the distributor cap
Bad plug wires or distributor cap is tracking and firing cylinders in wrong order
Could damasge the distributor/hall sender leading to a starting fault.
Follow the plug wires and they will go to the distributor cap.
it has to be the distributor cap or rotor or wires...plug wires.
the sparkplag wires lead from the sparkplugs to the distributor.
The distributor with distributor cap is at the back of the engine ( just follow the spark plug wires )
Only if the wires are bad.
