Detailed Description

This Standard Ignition distributor cap is engineered for service replacement on select Acura CL and Honda Accord models. The JH-252 uses aluminum contact terminals, a screw-mounted design, and a bolt-on attachment style to match the original distributor layout on covered applications. It also includes an O-ring seal and gasket for sealing at the distributor housing, while the brown cap color and vertical tower position align with the specified OE-style configuration. This part cross-references StrongArm 4056 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

  • Cracked or worn distributor cap housing
  • Corroded or pitted terminal contacts
  • Misfire caused by poor spark transfer through the cap
  • Moisture intrusion at the distributor seal area
  • Hard starting related to ignition cap wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify distributor cap style, terminal count, and tower orientation before installation. Transfer the ignition rotor only if it is serviceable, since the rotor is not included with this part. Use the included screws and seal components during installation, and confirm the cap seats evenly on the distributor housing before tightening.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies ignition service parts for OE-style replacement needs, and the JH-252 is built to match the listed fitment and hardware configuration for covered Acura and Honda applications.
