My Rotor melted AGAIN. I've searched for and found other threads on this issue but none of them have an answer to why this is happening. I've replaced the cap and rotor with high quality parts, factory, stock, and cheapos from AZ but they all eventually melt down after about 1 year in service. I replaced the coil and it did not help. New wires and plugs too.
Right before the melt down, it gets difficult to start, I notice a sharp drop in MPG and it starts to hesitate (cut off) at highway speeds. It's never stranded me becasue I always catch it and replace parts before it gets too bad.
I'm thinking the computer thinks (or knows) the fuel/air mix is Rich and is telling the coil to juice up the spark. The tail pipe also shows A LOT of carbon in the pipe - another indication that the mixture IS too rich. I don't want to start replacing parts - they get expensive quickly.
Does anyone know if these two issues are related (rich mix and melted rotor) or how to resove this problem? Anyone who has had this problem and permanently solved it please chime in. I'm getting tired of replacing these things
Thanks!!
