On a distributor cap, wires connect to specific terminals that correspond to each cylinder in the engine. The ignition coil wire typically connects to the center terminal, while the other wires are routed to the appropriate terminals based on the firing order of the engine. It's crucial to follow the manufacturer's specifications for correct placement to ensure proper engine performance. Always refer to a wiring diagram specific to your vehicle for accuracy.
Follow the plug wires and they will go to the distributor cap.
on this old distributor there is a cap that holds the wires in place on the distributor. Is there a trick to remove top cap?
If you look at the top of engine but in the back. You will see the Distributor cap and wires. Mark the wires where you understand where they go. Then remove the wires. There is 2 small screews on each side of the cap, remove them and lift cap off. When you put new cap on, make sure it is sitting stright and flat on the Distributor. If it's not right then the screews will not start. It's a little trickey. Then put wires back on were they go.
whats the motor.....but regardless if you follow the plug wires they lead to the distributor cap. v6 has 6 plug wires.....one to each plug and all of the on the distributor cap.......v8 has 8 plugs with their wires leading from each plug to the distributor cap
It is in the very back of the engine. Just follow the spark plug wires from the spark plugs and they will go to the top of the Distributor. That will be the distributor cap that the wires are in.
There is 4 terminals on the right hand side of the distributor cap were the wires go. It will be the first one on the cap towards the front. That is if the distributor is in right.
How does the wires from the spark plug go to the rotor, which order?
The 1997 Escort LX 1.9 does not have a Distributor cap.. the plug wires go directly from the coil assembly to the spark plugs.
There is no distributor cap, only a ciol pack that the plug wires go to
the sparkplag wires lead from the sparkplugs to the distributor.
it has to be the distributor cap or rotor or wires...plug wires.
Follow the wires from the spark plugs and they will go to the distributor unless the engine does not have one and has a coil pack.
