The Geo unit that you own might be equipped by an
ignition system called distributor. It’s an ignition system of an
internal combustion engine, which was used in earlier vehicle eras. Yet
some brands still use them even up to the modern time, though seldom.
This works by directing the voltage in correct order to the spark
plugs. It has got three terminals responsible of transferring current
to the wires leading to the spark plugs. They are the upper, middle and
lower section terminals.
On its tower is the distributor cap with which the high tension current is
distributed. Its end known as cap terminals is a substantial part of
the system where the high tension spark plugs jump. Inside the
distributor cap, just on the upper end of the distributor shaft is the
distributor rotor. This one’s the part that where the high voltage
coming from the ignition coil is being brought to before it pass
through the metal projection in the cap and then finally to the spark
plug, and is basically being driven by the cam shaft through the use of
centrifugal advance mechanism.
In the mid section, the corners of the spinning breaker cam strike the
breaker arm and separate the points at about 160 miles an hour,
subsequently allowing current to flow. The high voltage ignited by the
ignition coil travels to the rotor whirling inside a circle of
high-tension terminals in the distributor cap. By then the starter has
been ignited. The system will then wait until the starter responds
accordingly in order to set the engine in operation.
For your Geo to not give you a hard time with
start up, all distributor parts must be in good condition. Make sure
that the cap terminals are not worn in order to prevent spark
resistance. When the Geo distributor rotor is already problematic, find
a reliable replacement as soon as possible. For rotors are non-reusable
once damaged. And if you don’t have much knowledge about it, bring your
Geo to professional mechanics.
