when you remove the dog house it is the first thing you will see right on top of the motor. It is an oddball distributor cap because the points are all in the sides of the distributor cap but that is the only difference. another thing, because it is odd, the cost which you may have guessed is considerably more to replace it but after a while it is worth the extra money. I own a 2001 Chevy express and have recently changed plugs wires and distributor cap and what a difference.

4.3? Follow the spark plug wires from the spark plugs, they will lead you right to the distributor.
inside the distributor cap. there should be 2 sets of plugs that go to your distributor, those plugs go directly into ur ignitions module
ignition module is located under the distributor, where the spark plugs come out to go to the spark plugs, remove 6 bolts that hold the 3 capped distributor on, unplug the wires from both ends of module, 3 plugs, lift module out, nothing holds it in after distributor is removed, plug new module in, replace distributor.
the spark plugs are located behind the glovebox inside the van. you have to remove the glovebox and carpet to get to the engine.
The spark travels from the coil to the distributor then from the distributor to the plugs. So if you have spark going into the distributor but not coming out to the plugs, I would blame the distributor cap and rotor being at fault.
try your ignition control sensor located in your distributor
The distributor cap is located where the spark plugs cables are connected .They go from the motor to the distributor cap.
haynes or chiltons will have this
There is no distributor cap as there is no distributor. There are 3 coil packs, each coil fires 2 spark plugs simultaneously.
In order to change the sparks plugs in a Chevy Express 3500 van, you should first remove the front tires. This will allow you to get to the front six plugs. The doghouse also needs to be pulled in order to get to the last two spark plugs.
The distributor cap is located on the top of the distributor on a 1996 Sunfire. It is connected to the spark plugs via a wire.
The ignition module is located in the distributor under the rotor, it plugs in.
