Jeep died on the way to work today driving on the freeway. Got it towed home and was giving it the once over after work and found this carnage.

 

Explosive

 

Wow! That's rough

 

Wow! Never seen that before.

 

How old is the cap and rotor?

 

Been on about 6 months and 500 miles at most.

 

Are you running a stock coil?

 

Yes

 

i'd be changing the coil right away.

hope the cam sensor didn't take a hit also.

 

what brand is the cap and rotor?

that makes my butt clench. now i have to check mine tommorow. I have the grey champion kit.

 

Either a Masterpro or BWD I can't remember.

 

that is clearly a flux capacitor malfunction

 

That's what happens when it goes off and you're not going 88.

 

I've never seen that in my 25 years of slinging wrenches.I would blame a parts failure that caused an excessive gap and then cause a huge KV spike. I don't think the coil is to blame, I think it was a defective cap or rotor.

 

agreed replace cap an and shut the hood
