Distributors and Distributor Caps
Distributors and distributor caps are components of an ignition system. Most internal combustion engines use these to deliver high voltage sparks into the engine in the correct firing order, which in turn creates combustion.

1989 Nissan bluebird distributor leads order?
The distributor leads order for a 1989 Nissan Bluebird 4 cylinder is 1-3-4-2. The order for the 6 cylinder engine is 1-2-3-4-5-6.
What is the firing order for a 1994 Chevrolet Siverado 350 5.7 V8?
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 clockwise on the cap.
Drivers side head front to rear are cylinders 1-3-5-7 The other head front to rear is 2-4-6-8
How do you replace distributor in 1979 Chevrolet?
take off air filter housing mark down the positions of all the wires. take off the spark plug wires undo the clips take off old one put on new one. reinstall wires in same pattren as before. If it is just the cap and rotor you are doing if it is the entire assembly either get a auto repair manual or a mechanic
How do you change the distributor on a Dodge 318?
There is a hold-down bracket held down by a single retaining bolt on the passenger side of the distributor. Remove the bolt and bracket and the distributor will be free to rotate and pull in and out slightly. Once you've disconnected the electrical connections and plug wires you need to pull/pry upward on the shaft while rotating the rotor shaft until you start sliding upward. Be sure and set base timing when the new distributor is in. For TBI engines you need to disconnect the coolant temp sensor wire on the front top of the intake manifold to set timing correctly.

Are the new electronic points replacements in engine distributors vulnerable to EMP burst?
Absolutely.
If an 1986 ford f-150 with a 302 turns over but no fire to the plugs?
Replace ignition coil Check distributor cap and rotor
What is the firing order for a Chevy Camaro 2.8L?
Why does Nissan Z24 engine have 2 spark plugs in?
Better fuel economy due to more complete combustion. Reciprocating aircraft (piston) engines have had 2 spark plugs per cylinder for a long time .... primarily for redundancy - 2 magnetos. But during the 'Before take-off checklist', it is required that the pilot turn off each mag separately to see they are both working, and there is a slight rpm reduction with only one mag which indicates slightly less power (efficiency) for the same amount of fuel.
Where do you connect the wires on a distributor cap for a 93 GM 5.7 350 motor?
your question is not clear do you have a distributor or do you have coil packs ? yes there should be two sets of wires that lead the the side of the dist. usually the back three are from the dist and plug in only one direction. the other two are 1. power and 2. tach output. these plug in to the outside two terminals and are usually labeled. behind the air cleaner is the distributer

Why is your engine missing when you just replaced plugs plug wires distributor cap and roter?
Check the timing and the points
AnswerWhen you change the plugs and cap and wires you have to make sure you get the right wires to the right plugs that's usally the probelm is that the wires don't get put back with the right plugs. AnswerMake sure the before you remove the rotor note which way rotor is pointing and make sure that you install the new rotor pointing in the same direction. The it should wok if you haven't removed the distributor. If you don't remember which way the rotor was pointing just try switching the rotors position. Note: Not all distributor rotors can be mounted in different ways and some only mount one way.Usually the length of the oem wires from the distributor can give you a general idea. Hope this helps
Where is the distributor cap on a 1995 Hyundai Scoupe?
There is none on the 95 it uses a crank pickup to fire the plugs and a coil for each plug
What is the number 1 post on the distributor of a Chevrolet 350?
Remove the # 1 spark plug, (driver's side front plug), turn the engine over until the piston is at top dead center on the compression stroke. Now remove the distributor cap and the rotor will be pointed at the # 1 post.
Wire for electric spark timing in bypass mode tan and black striped wire?
Yes, that is the one you unplug.
check you distributer cap and rotor for wear. if so maybe that's it or bad wires.
How can you measure a time delay fuse with a multimeter to determine if it is good or bad?
Set the multimeter for the "buzz" mode. This mode checks for electrical continuity. This means that the multimeter checks to see if there is a path for electricity to pass through. Some multimeters indicate it with a buzz, others with a light. Put one lead at either end of the fuse, and if the indicator (buzz or light) goes off, the fuse is good. If it doesn't go off, the fuse is broken. If you don't know how to set your multimeter on that setting, or it does not have one, set the multimeter to measure resistance. If the fuse measures a really small resistance, it is good. If it measures at a really large resistance, it is broken.
Why does your mercury cougar start fine but when you shift to drive and press on gas shuts off?
If it jerks then dies, it could be the lockup torque converter is stuck and whenever you put it in drive it's "direct drive" without the advantage of a torque converter. That only applies if the engine is running well and there are no other symptoms. As always, check for a computer diagnostic code using a code scanner.
there is no diffrents in the firing order. with the # 1 piston in the up and firing position, the distributer roter (where ever it may be at that time), place the # 1 wire over it and begain the process from there . most people preffer to have the roter pointing toward the # 1 cylinder, but it does not matter to me. remember that the piston has 2 up strokes intake/exaust so if your car trys to crank but does not, you are 180 degrees out make sure you get the right stroke GOOD LUCK
How do ignition coils work in cars?
The ignition coil in a car is a step-up transformer, and the primary is powered up by the vehicle's 12-volt DC system. (And yes, in actuality the voltage is a bit over 13 volts. Some other voltages are possible.) The primary winding of the coil is intermittantly "pulsed" by the breaker points in the car, or the electronic ignition system in newer cars. For older cars, at the proper moment (the so-called "timing"), which is determined mechanically by the cam that operates the breaker points (and the adjustment of the breaker points themselves), the points close and the electrical system is connected to the primary winding for a moment. This delivers a pulse to the primary of the coil. Let's look at the electronic ingition systems a moment. In an electronic ignition, there is a sensor in the distributor to enable the control module to sense the position of the distributor shaft assembly. At the correct time, which is "calculated" by the control module and based on information like crankshaft position, speed, throttle position and a bunch of other stuff, the control module pulses the primary winding of the ignition coil. Now let's see what happens. The voltage pulse in the primary is stepped up many times by the many turns in the secondary winding, and a high voltage pulse is developed in that secondary by the inductive action of the coil. This high voltage pulse is routed to the appropriate plug through the rotor and distributor. Zap! The plug fires and ignites the fuel-air mixture that has been "sucked" into the cylinder by the piston on the intake stroke and then compressed on the compression stroke. The power stroke will commence with the ignition of the fuel-air mixture by the arc across the gap of the spark plug.
