Common Issues This Part Can Address
- Hard starting caused by weak or inconsistent ignition timing
- Misfire from worn distributor internals
- Rough idle related to unstable spark delivery
- Timing drift from distributor wear or poor machining tolerance
- Oil leakage or premature distributor failure
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify engine configuration, emission system, and build date before ordering, especially on 1986 Sentra applications with California Emission System and before 01/1986 notes. Transfer or source any excluded ignition components as needed, since the cap, rotor, coil wire, and integrated coil are not included. Confirm timing after installation to match the vehicle’s ignition specification.
Quality Assurance
Cardone remanufactured distributors are processed under stringent quality standards and tested to verify electrical and mechanical performance. The remanufacturing process replaces or repairs high-failure OE components to help the distributor meet or exceed original equipment performance expectations.
