I got 15 years out of the original cap. Then used local store replacement and Amazon replacements and none lasted over 3 years. Last one was visibly arcing outside cap to neighbor plug terminal. Managed to obtain a genuine GM cap and rotor last January and now can expect 10 years of trouble free starting again. You can feel the weight in the GM genuine cap.

Thank you! I am preparing to rework almost everything on my 1997 Astro. Have been fighting health issues.and the poor old thing has been sorely neglected these past 5 years. Good to get a refresher of what it looks like under there!

I just changed spark plugs/cables and saw that the distributor cap wasnt even screwed on(no screws). I have just gotten this van so who ever worked on it did a terrible job. Now i have to replace cap and rotor.

FYI: I tried numerous aftermarket caps (name brand) on my Astro and they all caused random missing by creating crossfires. I finally went to the dealer a bought a factory cap and rotor and it been running great again (for years now). Only by OEM for this very small and dense cap using very high voltages. You will save many dollars in the end.

I’d replace the Distributor, cap and rotor. I had multiple astros do the same thing only fix that ever worked was replacing those

Mine did the same… found bunch of spark plug wire leaking sparks. You can see the spark leakage in the dark… rev the engine a bit helps see them… change cap and rotor… check again, change wires if still leaking spark… I changed wires only… solve my rain problem.
