Tune up- Ticking Distributor Cap??
I changed out the spark plug wires and the cap/rotor and now there is a ticking that speeds up as I do coming from the distributor cap, any ideas on what to check?

I replied to your thread in the engines forum. Why did you crosspost?

Good to see you found the problem. I'd get both a new cap and a matched new rotor (same brand).

I would suggest to check your oil and filter now then, try to tune it up again. If nothing happens, send it to your dealer and they will diagnosed the problem.
