Which word do you use in this sentence ........The effected parts caused the problem?

I would use the word "affected" rather than "effected" in that sentence. The word "affected" would be an adjective in that sentence. The word "effected" is used as a verb. The following sentence would make sense:
The affected parts effected a situation that caused our problem.
Of course, if "effected" is the correct word, it would bring about a different meaning of the sentence.
The effected parts caused the problem that affected our car's engine.
That implies that the parts had been acted upon by an external source. These words are difficult to keep straight.
However, do not trust me! I highly recommend that you use a dictionary for this. I think I remember that "affect" sometimes can be a verb. The sentence I used: "The effected parts caused the problem that affected our car's engine." I believe in that sentence "affected" is used as a verb, and "effected" is used as an adjective. Please, use the dictionary. I recommend Webster's Dictionary; I believe they update annually.
