Honda Distributor Cap for an Efficient Ignition

Anthony Fontanelle
March 11, 2008

Accuracy in everything—the mixture of fuel and air, the burning of these elements, and the spark needed for ignition—is crucial in a vehicle’s operation. Equally important to the right amount of air and fuel is the right temperature of the engine during the fuel burning process. These factors result in the engine’s smooth operation, thus producing the power needed by a vehicle. However, to achieve the right operating temperature, your car’s engine needs the right amount of spark at the right time. For such purpose, vehicles use the auto part called the distributor cap.

Apparently, your Honda car has its own Honda distributor cap in its ignition system. Made from hard plastic and partly from copper, the distributor cap sees to it that electricity is evenly distributed from the ignition coils to the spark plug. At the same time, this device distributes electricity in a timely manner. However, the Honda distributor cap does not work alone. Inside it is a distributor rotor that rotates the electric current it receives from the ignition coil. The distributor rotor passes current to the copper part before it is delivered to the spark plug wires.

If you take a deeper look and try to comprehend how exhausting and important its job is, you’ll understand why replacing worn out distributor cap is necessary. The Honda distributor cap, an indispensable part of the vehicle’s ignition system, is the only place where the spark is transferred to burn the air and fuel mixture in the engine. It doesn’t really call for frequent replacement, once in every two years or every 15,000 miles will do. Just make sure that you buy a quality replacement distributor cap from our stock of Honda distributor caps. Purchase one now and get your money’s worth.
