Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2005 Dodge caravan is having symptoms: rough idle, what sounds & feels like
misfire, sputtering at idle. I suspect distributor cap since car has 190K miles
and I don't think cap has ever been replaced. How do i check cap to see if bad

Replace it and see. Caps are not very expensive.

That makes sense for misfires, it's easy to do and needs to be replaced anyway

If the cap is that old the plug wires are too. Replace them while you are at it.
