Maybe trapped air under the boots at the cap? Heat expands the air and lifts the wire from the cap, along with vibration maybe. Or terminal not seated in the cap. 1) make sure the wire terminal fits fairly snugly in the cap, and actually seats 2) squeeze the boot as you insert the wire into the cap to release any trapped air under the boot.

Subject {Chrysler 300} Very strange

To all the good folks in letter car land.

Has anyone encountered plug wires backing out of distributor cap.

The car starts out running quite well on all 8 after maybe 10-15 minutes not soo good.

First time it happened I thought maybe plug wires were problem.

Had no tools and was ready to call AAA just before I dialed the # i decided to check the distributor wires.

Believe I found 4 that had lost contact.

Seated the wires and presto change-o the engine fired up and ran great.

Doesn’t happen every time, but enough to make me wonder what could be causing this strange and very odd problem with the C.

Will appreciate any and all thoughts or suggestions.

Respectfully
