Distributor Rotor?

The Distributor Rotor is the spinning component you'll find inside your distributor. As it rotates, this rotor sends 20-30,000 volts of electricity from the ignition coil to your spark plugs. By touching the tips of your distributor points (or terminals), this unit passes electrical current to the ignition wires connected to your distributor cap. Upon contact with the ignition wires, power is then sent in high speed to waiting spark plugs, which fire up the fuel-air mixture inside your engine cylinders.

Because the Distributor Rotor handles massive amounts of electrical power each time you drive, this component is subject to mechanical wear and tear. When this happens, your distributor might do two things: either it misfires or it causes electrical over-arcing. When the distributor misfires, it fails to pass electrical charge to your spark plugs leading to engine failure. On the other hand, when over-arcing takes place, electrical charge damages the distributor's terminals—leading to distributor failure. These are just some of the reasons why this rotor and your distributor cap are usually the first two components to be replaced in a car during an auto tune-up.

That is why it's important that you keep your Distributor Rotor in good working condition. During routine maintenance checks, inspect this rotor for signs of burning, cracks, and dents. If you're having difficulties firing up your spark plugs, there's a good chance that there's something wrong with your distributor's rotor. And the only way you can solve this problem is by replacing the rotor and possibly your distributor cap as well. When replacing your Distributor Rotor, make it a point to get a quality replacement. This saves you from having to replace your "new" rotor after just a few weeks of use.
