Burned Ignition wire...

[mr. fix it]

So I've been experiencing on and off driveability issues this past few weeks.

I found this last night. i had thought to myself for the cost to get a Distributor cap and rotor as a just in case.
I has asked to ignition wires too but the desk jockey got confused and didn't order them in for me. I wish he not gotten confused..

I found one of the lugs in the cap had fried along with my beautiful Excel wires.
I tend to keep things so I rummaged through my spares and found a decent looking replacement to try to sort out the engine and discovered I have a vacuum leak near the back of the engine area. I think it may be a defective/worn out PCV valve...

So check it out below here.

You could have removed the terminal, cut the wire back and reinstalled the terminal

If I was really tight on funds I could have done that. (I have done it in a pinch)
The material in the distributor cap was crispied somewhat and for the cost of a distributor cap, I didn't need to do that.
