Pontiac Phoenix Distributor Cap
The Distributor Cap of Pontiac Phoenix vehicles can be described as a vital component that can effectively control or manipulate the current that moves from the ignition coil to the sparking plug wires. This shields the internal regions of the distributor and fastens the rotor- which transmits high voltage to the spark plugs in the right sequence. On the distributor cap there are pins which refer to the cylinders of the engine and the differences could be such as the use of two spark plugs per cylinder or the wasted spark system. Thus, to ensure that the vehicle's mechanical system is well functioning, timely replacement of the distributor cap is recommended especially for automobile cars in freezing regions because the plastic cover for the cap is likely to crack. In total, distributor cap is an indispensable and easily wore component that plays the key role in the proper functioning of the engine in Pontiac Phoenix vehicles.

Pontiac Phoenix Distributor Cap Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to replace the distributor cap?A: It is important to install the spark plug wires in the correct order on the distributor cap. If the distributor cap terminals are burnt or crusty, indicating the need for replacement, a new distributor cap should be purchased. To replace the cap, disconnect the ignition switch/battery feed wire and tachometer lead from the old cap. Release the old cap from the distributor body by pushing downward on the slotted latches and turning them ¼ turn. For L4 engines, a stubby screwdriver may be needed. On V6 engine distributors, remove the retaining ring located on top of the cap. Transfer the spark plug wires one at a time from the old cap to the new one, being careful not to pull on the wire insulation. For L4 engines, push the plug wires and boots firmly into the new distributor cap. For V6 engines, fit the plug wires into the retaining ring before refitting it onto the cap. Finally, place the new cap and plug wires into position over the top of the distributor and lock it into place by pushing and turning the latches, ensuring that the cap is firmly seated.
