Detailed Product Description

The WAI DST17405 distributor is engineered with an aluminum housing that offers strength and effective heat dissipation, essential for maintaining consistent ignition performance in Honda Prelude vehicles. This distributor is a pick up coil type, which provides accurate ignition timing signals to the engine control system. Each unit comes complete with a new distributor cap and rotor, both critical components for distributing high voltage to the spark plugs. The distributor cap attaches securely using screws, ensuring a stable connection and reducing the risk of misfires caused by loose components. Additionally, the included ignition coil is designed to work seamlessly with the distributor, enhancing overall ignition system reliability.

Compatible Applications and Common Issues Addressed

  • Resolves ignition misfires and rough engine idling
  • Addresses issues related to faulty distributor caps or rotors
  • Improves engine starting reliability and performance
  • Corrects timing inconsistencies caused by distributor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the WAI DST17405 distributor, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Verify that the distributor rotor aligns correctly with the cap terminals before securing the cap with screws. Since the ignition coil and rotor are included, replace these components simultaneously to maintain ignition system integrity. It is recommended to check and adjust ignition timing after installation to match manufacturer specifications for the Honda Prelude.

Each WAI DST17405 distributor is manufactured to meet OEM standards, featuring a new distributor cap and rotor with every unit.
