The distributor cap covers the top of the distributor. It carries high-voltage current from the rotor to each spark plug wire terminal, so every cylinder receives its spark in firing order.
Signs a distributor cap may need replacing: cracks, carbon tracks or corroded terminals inside the cap, engine misfires, hard starting or rough running. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the ignition system before replacing parts.
