bad ground wire from block to frame or distributor to frame or back to alternator if so designed. 87pontiac writes Inside the distributor is the coil and sometimes the the epoxy that coats the the coil cracks and causes all kinds of headaches from starting problems to idling issues to misfire.
If the distributor was genuinely bad the vehicle would probably not run. It requires special diagnostic equipment to test a distributor in isolation.
If the distributor and cap go bad on a 1996 S10 truck, the vehicle may experience issues such as rough idling, difficulty starting, and misfiring. You might notice a loss of power during acceleration, as well as poor fuel efficiency. Additionally, the check engine light could illuminate, signaling ignition system problems. Ultimately, these issues can lead to engine stalling and an inability to drive the vehicle effectively.
A bad spark plug(s), a bad spark plug wire(s), and bad distributor cap and or rotor. Time for a good tune up.
Yes. Bad spark plugs, bad spark plug wires and a bad distributor cap are the common causes of rough idling. If it has been a while since you changed these components, do so.
I would help to know what year and model vehicle you have but, you may have a bad fuel injector.
Signs of a bad distributor on a Mazda 323 include difficulty starting the engine, poor acceleration, and rough idling. You may also notice backfiring or stalling during operation. Additionally, if the engine misfires or there are issues with the ignition timing, these could indicate distributor problems. Regularly inspecting the distributor cap and rotor for wear can help identify potential issues early.
Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem Possibly a bad ignition coil
yes it will , also check all vaccum lines.
If the distributor has failed, the vehicle will probably not run. If the distributor is failing, the only way to really test this is by replacement, since it requires special equipment to test a distributor.
A distributor cap on a vehicle might be bad if the car is shaking more than normal. Other signs include stalling after the car has been running, squealing and rpm's running high.
