Distributor cap keeps frying and needs replaced much more than usual.
Distributor bushings wear out causing play and motion to wear out caps.
You don`t say what is happening to the cap. if its distributor bushings you will be able to push the shaft back and forth a fair bit. it could be water accumulating on the cap and working its way into through a crack or shorting out the plug wires at the cap. if you look on the inside of the cap carefully, a crack is indicated by a dark or gray line track that is not suppose to be there. a cheap cap will not do the job as a quality cap will. you can place a plastic bag over the cap and wires to stop water intrusion. there is also a spray that can be sprayed onto the cap and wires that help seal water out.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
The camshaft position sensor is located inside the distributor. On some distributors, the camshaft position sensor is not serviceable (replacement parts may not be available separately). If the camshaft position sensor is serviceable, use the following procedure.
