Distributor rotor replacement

The distributor cam is a moving element located on the shaft, responsible for supplying electrical current from the ignition coil to the ignition plugs in the cylinders. Its wear is accelerated when dirt and moisture get to it through broken distributor housing. Its malfunction may cause uneven operation of the engine, increased fuel consumption, power decrease or even problems with starting the engine.
