When you own a car, you are responsible for keeping it running at its best. It can be challenging to stay up-to-date with all the maintenance that is required, but it's important to the life of your vehicle. Today we're going to help by taking a closer look at where you can find Mitsubishi distributor caps in San Antonio, TX.

What is a distributor cap?

First let's take a looks at what a distributor cap is actually responsible for. A distributor cap is an insulated cap that fits over the distributor in a gasoline engine and that distributes voltage to the spark plugs. It might not sound like an important part, but it is vital to the performance of your vehicle's engine. If your vehicle has a faulty distributor cap, the ignition sequence inside your engine will be out of order.

Signs You Distributor Cap Needs to Be Replaced

1. Your Car Shakes: If you're idling at a stop sign or red light and your car shakes more than normal, this might be a sign you that the rooter inside the distributor cap is not working properly.
2. Trouble Starting: If you live in a colder climate, your vehicle's distributor cap is more likely to crack from going cold to hot instantaneously. If your car has trouble starting on a regular basis, check the distributor cap for cracks.
3. Your Car is Stalling and Backfiring: If your car starts okay, but acts up once you're on the road by stalling and/or backfiring, it could be because your distributor cap has a fault.
