Why would your distributer cap cause a you to be shocked when you touch it?
EMMA
Because there is high voltage present and as the cap and wires get older a certain amount of current will pass on the outside of the cap.( May be an indication of a need for wires and cap, rotor) So when your body provides a better ground, the voltage will jump thru you instead of the spark plug wires. Wakes you up quick right? Mark
Usually because there is a crack in it. It should be replaced.
