Series : Select SeriesClassic cars such as the Mercury Cougar rely on a distributor for your car to run properly.

During routine inspection of your car, a cracked or worn distributor cap is a sure of Mercury Cougar distributor problem. This plastic cap is more prone to this type of symptom if you live in a cold area. When starting a car under cold weather, the sudden introduction of heat excites and cracks the cover. Other than cracks, you may also find a rust and corrosion forming on the insides.
There are internally moving parts in your car's distributor. If ever you hear a high-pitched noise, it means that those parts are in contact with something that these shouldn't touch. An accumulation of muck and grease is usually the problem. If left unattended, this build-up may become a serious problem and lead to an irreparable Mercury Cougar distributor.
