All About Toyota Distributor Caps
What a Distributor Cap Does
As part of the distributor in your Toyota, alongside a rotor, the cap works in concert to help the distributor send current from the ignition coils to the spark plugs, in the proper firing order and at the right times.
How Often to Inspect a Distributor Cap
Every 25,000 miles, when you inspect the distributor, or when you start to see the signs that the cap has failed. During the inspection, be sure to check the rotor as well as the contact points.
Symptoms of a Faulty Distributor Cap
They're the same as those of a bad distributor, basically:
- A Check Engine light on the dash
- Engine misfires
- Your vehicle not starting
- Wear or damage
- A cracked distributor housing
- A broken wire tower and contacts
- Carbon burn-tracks on the terminal
In any case, find that the cap's gone bad, and you'll need to replace it. How to do so is relatively straightforward. Just be sure to use an OEM replacement part for the job.
How Much Toyota Distributor Cap Replacement Costs on Average
You might be looking at paying anywhere from $85 to $120, according to recent RepairPal data; it can vary according to Toyota model, and it can depend on whether you have work done at a Toyota dealership. Whether you need to replace the whole distributor assembly can factor in, too; that may run you $465 to $720 or more.
