Distributor contacts can corrode easily due to exposure to moisture, dirt, and other contaminants in the engine area. When these substances accumulate on the contacts, they can create a chemical reaction that leads to corrosion, hindering the flow of electricity and causing issues with the ignition system. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prevent this corrosion.

How do you clean distributor cap and rotor?

You must have an antique car. I haven't had a car with a distributor in 30 years. Remove the distributor cap and examine the four or six metal contacts inside for corrosion. The contacts are shaped something like tiny straight-back chairs. The backs of he chairs often corrode. If you see corrosion you want to scrape it off. I used to use a flat blade screwdriver. If you can get a razor blade inside the cap without scarring something you could use that too. Try to avoid scarring or removing metal from the contacts, 'cause this can screw up the cap. Do a similar thing to the end of the rotor -- the part that swings around to deliver spark to each of the metal contacts. Again try not to remove metal -- just corrosion.
