So I just bought a new cap and rotor, both japanese, the current rotor is American but I did not see a true difference. I installed them correctly and DID NOT mix up the firing order and I turned it on and there is now a ticking in the distributor. I then mixed the old and new in ever possibility and ended up with both old back on and it is still ticking. I also lost power and I smell a faint fuel smell under the truck. So did the new cap and rotor cause this or is it a complete coincident and something else bad just happened?

 

it says "this video is private"

 

Alright give me a quick sec, to me it sounds like something isn't making a contact which IMO would make sense for the loss of power. .

 

Okay nvm, I learned that you should never look over things too quick or you'll make yourself look stupid sorry for wasting your time, who ever has the power, can you please delete this thread?

 

All right fess up what did you do stupid this time.

I seem to always get my boots on the wrong feet

 

coil wire wasn't on all the way? sounds like the spark is jumping somewhere like a loose wire. or the center electrode on the cap fell out.

 

No I was only running on 5 cylinders haha I guess I didn't check them all
