Vehicle has repeatedly starting running poorly and has a lack of power along with a misfire. Vehicle is then hard to accelerate and slows down flow of traffic. Each time the distributor cap and rotor have been found with excessive amount of corrosion on them and when the cap & rotor are replaced the problem goes away for a while. The cap & rotor were changed 3 times each before 50,000 miles.
Van willnot start at times. Moisture is getting into distributor and shorting out the ignition. In the 63000 miles I have driven this van the distributor and rotor has been replaced 2 times due to failure. Rotor has big black burn on plastic near electrode.
