    Based sa mga experiences dito, majority ba e sa Motolite? Nakakatakot naman. Motolite na kasi gamit ko from the start.

    Buti naman naayos na sasakyan mo. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Hi cowboytuna,

    I am also a newbie here, The distributor from what i know in my kia is the object that is at the side of the engine to the right...the distributor is the one that gives electricity charge to the spark plugs. kaya may wire connected doon to the engine...while the car is running nag rorotate yon inside, to distribute nga yung charge to the 4 spark plugs to each burnign chamber..para umandar yung engine.. I can hear static sound inside the distributor and alam ko from my mechanic na ground siya...we kina opened it up and scraped yung mga dirt na nag form sa mga metal connectors noon..also as i have mentioned, i also changed the alternator because it was overcharging...I really do not know what caused this pero nawala na siya when i replaced the alternator. I suggest you check the electrical and charging system..
    ng car asap..Also i do not know kung may relation ito , be sure na rin to check whether the spark plug should burn to it's designated chamber.i do not know kasi it might be because of overloading...am not sure...

    I agree with Mr. Nicolodeon that it was hydrogen gas that cause the explosion of the battery. The overcharging alternator and electrical spark leak are contributors to the elements needed to cause an explosion. The latest development for alternators is the use of IC's (for regulators). Its malfunctioning may cause overcharging (that is why it is called a regulator). Some auto electrical shops even ask owners if they want to convert it to a mechanical regulator (the small black box). Per my experience, it was only with the so called maintenance-free batteries that the batteries explode. I want to know if somebody experience battery explosion with the ordinary type battery?
