The condenser serves to enhance the spark by greatly increasing the voltage to the input of the ignition coil. It does this through a sudden electrical surge and a high frequency ringing effect, bringing the voltage as high as 300 volts for input to the coil immediately after the ignition points break.
The ignition condenser is located inside the distributor. In order to repair the issue, the distributor will need removed and replaced.
This motor has no distributor. It has a coil pack for each spark plug. There is no condenser.
Electrical part-usually for a distributor on a car.
inside the distributor
Yes, a 1997 Chevy Cavalier does have a distributor cap. The distributor does not have points and a condenser. This part is one electronic unit.
Not clear on "cracked condenser", but a bad condenser in the distributor would cause the points to wear out quickly, which could easily keep the truck from starting.
It depends on what motor you are talking about. If it is a newer motor it may have no points or condenser. Most points and condensers are usually located on the end of the crank shaft under the fly wheel.
Controls the amount of voltage that is supplied to the points. This prevents the points from burning out prematurely.
When it breaks. The only thing that might break in a distributor that would make you change the distributor is the vacuum advance can. Points, condenser, rotor and electronic ignition parts break too, but you can change them.
The 327 cubic inch Chevrolet's distributor had points and condenser and not an ignition module. If you have an ignition module then you have a HEI distributor that was changed out.
Check the coil, rotor, condenser, distributor cap, and coil wire.
0.035 as long as it still has points and condenser type distributor in it.
