Ignition Rotors

Save on Ignition Components and Brand Name Rotors

Ignition rotors help distribute voltage from the ignition coil to the cylinders. Ignition coils are connected to the ignition rotors, which spin inside the ignition cap. In normal operation, rotors spin past a sequence of contacts. Then the tip of the rotors pass by each contact, a voltage transfers from the coil. The pulse of the voltage stretches across the arc of the ignition rotors and the contact and then travels down the ignition spark plug wire on the cylinder.

Replacing ignition rotors during an auto tune up is a standard procedure for many car owners, as the rotors will eventually wear out. If you find that your vehicle is experiencing some strange engine problems, it's always a good idea to check the ignition rotors. They are often the cause of an inefficiently starting engine. For most vehicles, it's easy to check to see if the ignition rotors need replacing. Simply remove the distributor cap and view the metal edge of the rotors. If the ignition rotors are pitted, or if they display carbon deposits, then it's time for the rotors to be replaced. New rotors can be surprisingly effective in making an old engine run like new.
