Hello,

So, when was the last time the Cap and Rotor were changed? If it has been a while then I would suggest Changing them. Also a typical tune up for a vehicle that still have cap & rotor - Is to replace Cap Rotor, Plugs, Wires and PCV Valve.

It may not be but it is a place to start. If you look at the inside of the cap and there is deposits on the metal pieces then it is most likely the cause.
