How to check and replace the Distributor Cap and Spark Plug Wire on Mercury Capri?

If you want to keep spark plug wires in excellent condition, always replace them when you change spark plugs. While the engine is running, just check for arcs or sparks in a well-ventilated garage. Start checking and labeling them one by one from the number one cylinder. Pull out the rubber boot by twisting it off or use a removal tool to separate wires from spark plugs. Attach the cables again tightly; pliers should be used where required. Clean off any dirt on these wire and examine them for burns, cracks or damages. Take off wires from the distributor, inspect for corrosion, and also replace any broken ones. This may involve putting in place new distributor cap and rotor, looking out for cracks, carbon tracks, worn terminals and corrosion. Apply silicon dielectric compound on single point rotors tip and replace cap and rotor when defects are found on them.

Mercury Capri Distributor Cap

Mercury Capri vehicles thus have the Distributor Cap that protects internal parts of the distributor and helps in the convection of current from the ignition coil to the spark plug wires. It consists of posts that correspond to each engine cylinder and operates in relation to the rotor to supply electricity to spark plugs with the adequate firing sequence. There are variations as well, and they include double spark plugs per cylinder and wasted spark system. Maintenance and replacement of the distributor cap is imperative to avoid a failure of the engine, even more, so for vehicles which are used in colder climates as the plastic covering might be more sensitive to the climate. In general, the distributor cap is a crucial component of Mercury Capri automobiles' ignition system; it is responsible for the proper operation of the engine and at times, can also act as a rudimentary theft-deterrent mechanism.

We provide a wide range of Mercury Capri Distributor Cap at the best prices possible. If you need Mercury Capri Distributor Cap, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
