Replacing the distributor cap in a Saab vehicle -- it's not always cheap. It can run you $80 to more than $100 on average, with labor making up between $40 and $60 of that. It's worse when quality's an issue, too, like with aftermarket parts.

Distributors and Caps 101

The distributor in a Saab sends current from the ignition coils to the spark plugs, in the proper firing order, and at the right times. The distributor cap, however, is a protective cover for the many parts of a distributor. It also helps keep the distributor's rotor connected to the spark plugs' wires.

The rotor and cap wear out or get damaged, you'll see the signs. Look for cracks in the housing, a broken wire tower, and tracks or burns on the terminal (that's carbon). Of course, the cap and rotor go bad, and you'll see worse. Symptoms of that include the Check Engine light showing up on the dash, engine misfires and other strange noises, and your vehicle not starting. Try to catch these early; inspect the distributor -- both the rotor and the cap -- during routine maintenance, every 25,000 miles or so. When to replace them otherwise? It's straightforward: about every 50,000 miles. Consult your owner's manual for specifics.
