    could this be possible? recently hindi maganda yung idle ng auto ko. nacheck ko yung distributor and found na may leak sa loob. this was a problem also before pero nasolve nung pinalitan yung oil seal sa loob ng distributor at nagpalit ng sparkplugs. so thinking it might be the same prob, di ko na pinarepair yung distributor. instead pinalitan ko na ng surplus pero di ako nagpalit ng spark plugs. pero ganun pa rin. rough idle. yung sparkplugs around 1 month old pa lng. ang question, can the faulty distributor damage/affect the sparkplugs?

    thanks in advance sa replies!

    of course, the distributor dictates how much voltage passes through the wires.

    palitan mo na rin ung spark plugs..

    saka baka maluwag din ung mga plug covers..

    kakatapos ko lang magpachange oil..

    lakas ng vibration ng makina. parang sira ung engine mount.

    turns-out, maluwag lang ung mga takip at luma na rin ung mga plugs..

    ngayon okay na sya.. saya.

    yup. nagpalit na ko this morning. so far ok naman. pero dati kasi nung di pa ko nagpalit ng distributor e mga 1-2 weeks lang palya na naman. hopefully ngayon would last a few months. na check ko na rin mga wires and plugs. ok din naman sila. wala ring nakitang oil sa lumang plugs. thanks sa tips!

faulty distributor affect spark plugs?
