If the distributor is faulty, it can lead to several issues in the vehicle's performance, including misfires, poor fuel efficiency, and difficulty starting the engine. This is because the distributor is responsible for directing high-voltage electricity from the ignition coil to the correct cylinder at the right time. A malfunction can cause uneven firing of the engine cylinders, resulting in rough idling and reduced power. In severe cases, it may prevent the engine from running altogether.
