A car distributor plays a critical role in the vehicle’s ignition system. It is responsible for channeling high-voltage electricity necessary to ignite the engine's fuel-air mixture from the ignition coil to the spark plugs. This process ensures that the engine cylinders fire in the correct order and timing, which is crucial for smooth operation and optimal performance. By maintaining the precise timing and distribution of this electrical current, the distributor helps your engine run efficiently, contributing to better fuel economy and reduced emissions. In modern vehicles, electronic distributors have largely replaced mechanical ones, offering increased precision and reliability. Regular maintenance of the distributor and its components, such as the distributor cap and rotor button, is essential for avoiding misfires and ensuring long-term vehicle performance.
