Cap rotor followup as to when to change?
I asked but could not update as I'm on my phone. Any who 95 corolla 250 k miles. I've owned it for 16 years and have not changed cap rotor or wires. Original owner coulf have changed then idk. Have changed plugs of course. Never changed o2 sensors either. So the consensus is that the car would run better with a change? It runs well but idled a little rough when cold. Thought that was due to a clogged egr valve which has been clogged with cel (had it read by dealer) for past 7 years. Car still runs well 35 mpg doesn't ping for most part.

Yea. . .the EGR is not clogged but rather the egr pathways in the manifold are full of crud. Very common on those cars, with a ton of how to articles on the internet. Expensive to have done by a shop. Ya know if it runs ok when it's wet out I wouldn't even bother with the wires. If it aint broke don't fix it. you're getting 35mpg. Leave it and enjoy!

the cap and rotor should be changed everytime you change the plugs ! as long as the check engine light is not coming on then forget about the 02 sensor !
