I was doing a simple tune up and took the cap and rotor off and the distributor was rusty, is that a problem?, also when i put the new cap and rotor on there was a ticking/clicking coming from it, i removed the cap and rotor and could not find the problem, what could this sound be?

 

any help would be greatly appriciated, i need the car ready to run by 11 tomorrow.

 

popping sound is rotor button hitting the cap, push the rotor button down hard try it again,later jimmy

 

i already tried that and it is still doing it,

 

did you check new rotor against old one to be sure its the right one?

 

yes, we also checked the cap, the rotor was rubbing up against the top of the cap the first time, we fixed that. the rotor wasnt pushed all the way down, but after fixing that, it still did it.

 

it has to be the rotor or cap, thats all you changed right?

 

Nope, we changed the plugs and wires too, but i dont think that is the problem.

 

ill be honest i dont know anything else to check,just go back and triple check it all, later jimmy
