Cap and Rotor
Recently I decided my car needed a tune up
About time....it had the original cap, rotor and plug wires. I changed the cap and rotor with a NAPA rotor and CarQuest cap.
Now, I have never had a bad part come through the CQ here in town.
But it almost seems like I'm getting worse milage. I need to change the plugs wires and valve cover gasket.
Could a new cap make the MPG go down?
Also, are there little grommets in the plug holes? I'm ordering my VCG soon

Its unlikely that CQ or NAPA replacements exceeded Lexus/Toyota oem parts, so for these eom is likely better and you'd not be having the question. Maybe you saved $50
To check this I'd put the old one back on and get your answer.
