    Take off the rotor and see if the part that makes contact is smooth. If it's ruff, it needs to be replaced.

    True, one of the simplest things to check and replace. Its a 1 beer job.

    Hi,
    Distributor rotor is checked by its surface. If it is rough then replace it.
    The simplest way to check the rotor.
    ThanksARY Digital Live tv

    That is a really good thing to know. I wouldn't have known to do that.

    How did this work out? I've done that before and it's necessary to have a good connection all the way through.
