Ok I should have mentioned this up front. I'm a mechanical novice, so I need detailed explanations on EVERYTHING.

"Check clearances in the cap, rotor." What am I looking for? What should the clearance be?

"Your coil wire may have an internal break as well." Is this within the coil? Could I actually see it if there was a break? Should I just replace the coil to be safe?

"New cap and rotor will likely take care of this." Ok the cap is straight forward and i can replace that with ease, but what would be wrong with the cap? I think its the boot on the wire that is allowing the electricity to flow through.

How do i replace a rotor without messing things up worse?

Thanks for all your help
