The Rendezvous has an electronic ignition control system. It does not have a distributor cap that would have a node inside it spinning around to make contacts to fire the sparkplugs. Instead it's yet another thing controlled by a computer that triggers the sparkplugs in proper sequence to run your engine.

There is no distributor cap on that engine because there is no distributor. It has a distributor-less ignition system. The spark plug wires go directly to a coil pack with an ignition module mounted on the lower passenger side of the engine. It is best reached from under the vehicle.
It's a distributor-less ignition system, so you're going to be looking for a long time in order to find it!
That's a trick question...there isn't one. It's a distributor-less ignition system. It has 3 coil packs and and ignition module and are located right under the front exhaust manifold.
I am assuming you have the 2.0L? If so this is a distributor-less engine with coil over plug ignition. The spark signal comes from the crankshaft position sensor.
you don't computer controlled engines have idle speed set by the computer
Your engine has distributor-less ignition. The spark timing is controlled by the ECM, there is no provision for adjustment.
A distributor less system with waste spark.
The 1987 Chevy Celebrity has distributor less ignition. The timing is controlled by the engine control module and there is no provision for adjustment.
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.
If your car has the V6 the distributor is in the space between the heads ad the bell housing end of the engine. If your car has the 4 cylinder engine the distributor is below the intake manifold on the bell housing end of the motor. If it is a distributor-less engine the ignition control module is where the distributor would have been. Either way you can follow the spark plug wires to it.
bad distributor cap or ignition wires (bad insulation damaged when you pull wires out without twisting it ) and less likely burned valves or bad plugs
