So I went to change my cap and rotor today on my car and when I pulled of the distributor cover I saw this... Is this bad or normal wear and tear?

 

damn nothin?

 

looks fairly normal to me. How do the terminals inside the cap look and how old are the parts?

 

I'm not 100% on the age of the parts, probably a few years. I attached a picture of the cap

 

I'd change them out.

 

Yea I swapped the cap and rotor yesterday, it was my first time doing it though and I was just making sure that was from wear and not another issue. Thanks for the help man

 

i remember when i did this i was looking forever for that little screw... i had to push the car for a while... good times...lol

 

rofl, yea it was a fun learning experience

 

Just curious, did you have a problem wit your car? Like did it not start or where u just doing maintenance?

 

that rotor and cap looks pretty normal, i've seen worse.!

 

Well the car has been feeling a little slugish lately so I'm trying to go through and freshin everything up. So other then that I would say just maintenance

 

****....I'm thowin a code 15 and can't figure out WTF is wrong wit it and it dnt start

 

Hmmm code 15...
never experienced it before but does you engine turn over?
or do you have no spark and no power?
check the bly/ylw wire, between the ecu plugs...
it may have been damaged when you were working on it...
or any other of the wires.
Also check you Main Relay, do you here the clicks from it?
I have also been told to check your Ignitor?
Lastly if you can try and install another dizzy just to check
one from a friend or if you have one laying around.

Good luck.

 

It does crank over....has fuel....no spark. And I say it has no spark cuz when it gets cranked I pull off a plug wire from dist. Cap too see if there's spark jumpin and there's not.

 

Problem solved......case of cold budwieser and 3 hrs later, wiring shorted out a fuse...... Car is on da road again!!!!!
Thanx fellas!!!!!!!!!!
