In a BMW 318i distributor cap, the distributor cap is an important part of the ignition system. Its main job is to deliver high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plugs in the proper firing order. This tight routing delivers to each cylinder the spark necessary for combustion at just the right timing.
The cap fits over the distributor and has contacts that the spark plug wires connect to, allowing for effective electrical current transfer. With time, however, the cap will wear out from repeated exposure to heat and vibration and may cause misfires or engine sluggishness and thus should be inspected and replaced regularly.
