I have never tried this so I am asking for my own future info. Would the "bad" condenser that is still in the circuit have any effect in the running of the car after the "spare" condenser is connected? Seems to me it would, especially if it was shorted out??

BTW, I have not changed my condenser in ~7 years now. And only then because I thought I had a bad condenser, which I did not.
