I have had a few caps go, and they tend to have brown sticky stuff running out of them when they do.
If the cap is gone, you will experience very little torque, and then full power, with nothing inbetween.
Do not run your speedo without a cap, as this will break it.
As a precaution, I use two caps wired in parallel, so if one fails, I wont lose power. I think this probably is overkill, but I hate it when a car lets you down.
