Distributor Volvo 700

A rough idle, jerky running in damp conditions or a sluggish cold start can point to worn ignition distributor parts, and it's a common check point on the Volvo 700. This category gathers distributor parts for the 700 series: distributor caps, rotor arms, O-rings and lock rings plus complete distributors. Cracks and burned contact surfaces in the cap and a worn rotor arm should be checked first, since they control how the spark is distributed to the spark plugs. The O-ring seals against the motor and should be replaced at the same time to avoid oil leaks, while the lock ring holds the distributor shaft in place. The engine options in the 700 series differ, so the distributor design can vary between four-cylinder and V6 – check the fit against your engine before replacement.
