The distributors of your car are used to provide correct firing to the spark plugs are mostly found in the ignition system of the internal combustion engine. It contains a rotating arm as a rotor and consists of a distributor cap and distributor shaft inside it. In each of the spark plug cylinders, the high volumed cables are used through the connected rotor arms. The distributor is the useful component of your car that can be carried out with a number of function. Here the given slides provide you the importance of distributor in your car and the unusual problems arises when it malfunction.

1. The Importance of
Distributor in the Car's
Ignition System

2. What is a
distributor?

3. The distributor is found in the
ignition system of an internal
combustion engine and it alligns
the high voltage into the correct
firing order to the spark plugs.

4. It consists of a rotating arm known
as a rotor, which is inside the
distributor cap and on top of the
distributor shaft.

5. The rotor contacts the central high
voltage cable from the coil with the
help of a spring loaded carbon
brush.

6. The rotor arm, then passes close to
the output contacts, which then
connect through the high tension
cables to the spark plug of each of
the cylinders.

7. What is its
importance?

8. The distributor cap and rotor are
part of the ignition system, which
has to work in concert with the rest
of the engine in order to ignite the
fuel at the proper time.

9. Its main purpose is to maximize the
output of the expanding gases in
the engine by lighting them so that
they produce heat and the fuel
turns to exhaust.

10. The exhaust increases the pressure
in the cylinder and pushes the
piston down, creating maximum
pressure possible inside the
cylinder, thereby maximizing
torque and power.

11. The more efficient the cylinders
are, the better the car's mileage will
be and the most vital to the coil-
distributor-cylinder system is
timing.

12. Since there's a short delay between
when the spark is created and
when it ignites the mixture in the
cylinder, the spark has to happen
before the piston reaches the top of
its stroke.

13. What happens when
it malfunctions?

14. The distributor may not seem
important, but it is an integral part
of the performance of the car's
engine.

15. When the cap is faulty, then the
ignition sequence inside your
engine will not happen in the set
sequence.

16. The common irregularities found in
the car when the distributor
malfunctions are:
Problem while starting in cold
Shakes while driving
Fluctuating RPMs

17. Problem while
starting in cold

18. The distributor cap is more likely to
break in the cold climate as it is
covered with a plastic material
which cracks due to the change in
temperature.

19. There may be corrosive materials
on the inside of the cap, which
would also render it ineffective and
create problems while starting the
car.

20. Shakes while driving

21. The car shakes while driving and
while idling the vibrations are
more prominent means that the
rotor inside the distributor is not
spinning properly.

22. This leads to improper timing of the
distribution of the firing process.

23. Fluctuating RPMs

24. A poor connection between the
distributor cap and the wires may
result in fluctuations in the engine's
revolutions per minute(RPMs).

25. A cap with cracks, signs of burning
or corrosion is often the cause of
the problem.
