Where is the distributor cap on a 2000 Chevrolet Impala?

You won't find a distributor cap on a 2000 Chevrolet Impala. This is because it uses a Distributorless Ignition System (DIS), which means there's no traditional distributor cap and rotor.

Instead, the ignition system relies on individual ignition coils for each cylinder. The ignition control module (ICM) sends a signal to the appropriate coil to fire the spark plug at the correct time.

Here's where you would find the ignition coils on a 2000 Impala:

* V6 engine: The coils are located on top of the spark plugs, typically with one coil per cylinder.

* V8 engine: The coils are usually found in a bank near the front of the engine, with two coils per cylinder.

It's important to consult your car's repair manual or a reliable online source for specific details about your Impala's engine setup and coil locations.
