Dizzy cap question
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2020 4:07 pm
Hi
I wonder if someone can help or advise.
I'm trying to track down a problem with my 1996 by being down on power.
It wouldn't start at all this morning after the rain but did with some generous wd40 onto the cap and leads.
However I noticed that it was well down on power and really struggled up hills.
I've changed the spark plugs and took the distributor cap off.
I don't think it is a standard cap. 4 of the contacts look fine but the other 2 are recessed into the cap. I'm not sure if they are supposed to be completely flush with the plastic casing and if they are just not making contact with the rotor arm.
Any ideas?
