Is it dangerous to keep driving with a cracked distributor cap?

Not immediately dangerous, but continuing to drive with a misfire can send unburnt fuel into the catalytic converter, causing expensive damage — repair promptly.

Is the rotor arm usually replaced along with the cap?

Yes, it’s standard practice to replace both together, since they wear at a similar rate and access is the same for both.

What is the cap made of?

Moulded plastic (often a heat-resistant polymer) with internal metal contacts.

What is this part and why does it matter?

Frequently asked questions

Cracks or carbon tracking on the cap create a path for high-voltage spark to leak or "track" to ground, especially when moisture bridges these weak points — this gets worse in damp conditions.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
