I have a 2000 Blazer that has been having stall or loss of power issues, I recently(3 months ago) gave it a tune up (plugs, wires, cap & rotor) so I did not think that was the problem. I was checking the ignition system out and looking at the pick up when I noticed the distributor cap terminals(inside) were burned at the 1 o'clock position (looking down) I cleaned the cap and then cleaned the rotor. The truck ran good for a few days and then it started acting up again. I changed the distributor cap & rotor a few weeks ago and it ran great for about 10 days, now its starting to act up again. What is causing the new cap terminals to burn so quickly? I had my ignition module checked and it checked fine, the only diagnostic code I get is a random engine misfire. After I changed the cap & rotor the misfire code cleared. It only comes back when the engine stalls or loses power.
