How do you know there is something wrong with the Distributor on your Proton?

When the engine does not run smoothly. When the 'Check Engine' light on the dashboard of your car is illuminated. When the engine does not start. When the engine's cylinders appear to misfire. When there are unusual noises coming from the engine.

When should you replace Proton Distributor?

Over time the rotor and cap's condition can deteriorate due to wear. The cap and the contact points inside can, for example, be affected by erosion or corrosion. Equally, carbon can build up inside the rotor cap on and around the contact points, diverting electricity from the points. Both lead to a decreased electric current to run from the rotor arm through the contact points, in turn leading to a diminished spark at the spark plug. Misfires inside the engine can then occur. The condensor is instrumental in creating a flat electricity flow to the spark plugs, decreasing the voltage as well as absorbing undesirable voltage peaks created by the coil. It stores electricity from the coil when the distributor's contact points are open and releases it each time contact points close. If the condensor inside the distributor is faulty, the condensor cannot absorb the excess electricity from the coil. A faulty condensor can lead to excessive wear on the contact points and spark plugs as well as engine misfires. It is therefore important to service the distributor as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer. It is essential that the distributor is kept in a good condition, this should contribute to a prolonged distributor lifespan. Should you experience problems like those noted earlier then it is important to have the distributor inspected and, if necessary, have it replaced.

Hello I have been working as a mechanic for more than 10 years, doing work efficiently and quickly.

“He arrived a little late, around 45 minutes, a call ahead to say he was on his way would have relieved my anxiety. When he arrived he asked me what the problem was. Once I explained he and the guy he was with got straight to work. My work colleagues couldn't believe they were doing the job on my driveway and were very impressed given the work involved. I've given it a few days since the work was done and everything seems to be good! With the new clutch and flywheel, it feels like a new car! I was very impressed and incredibly greatful that Lura was able to do the job. I'd been fobbed off by my usual garage and a couple of other local ones, it's been suggested to me because of the time involved to replace the flywheel. I'd been without a car for 5 weeks before trying this website. I certainly wouldn't hesitate again! The job in total took these guys just over 3 hours. Great work and would very much recommend! Friendly guy and offered me to take a test driver before he left.”
