Signals of Distributor Cap Issues

Car Won’t Start

This is a symptom of many different car problems. However, if you are experiencing either of the symptoms below and your car won’t start, your best bet is taking it to a mechanic for a diagnosis.

Check Engine Light

Again, this is a symptom of anything from a malfunctioning EGR valve to a blown head gasket. It’s also, however, a sign that the voltage in your engine isn’t distributed correctly. Always get an inspection to determine the reason for the check engine light on your vehicle.

Noise

When the distributor cap malfunctions, your engines cylinders will attempt and fail to fire as normal. This will make a squealing sound. Carbon deposits underneath your distributor cap can keep it from working properly. Replacing the distributor cap should fix the problem
