Detailed Description

This WAI distributor is a complete ignition replacement for Honda Civic models from 1996 through 2000 that use a Hitachi distributor. The unit is manufactured with all new components and is designed to match OE specifications for direct installation and consistent ignition performance. WAI DST17485 also includes the ignition coil, distributor cap, and ignition rotor, reducing the need to source separate components during service.

For buyers searching for a Honda Civic distributor, Honda Civic ignition distributor, or DST17485 replacement distributor, this part provides a straightforward OE-style solution. It cross-references Honda 30105-P2M-A01 and D4T94-05 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Hard starting caused by distributor wear
  • Misfire conditions related to cap, rotor, or internal distributor failure
  • Intermittent ignition performance from aging pick-up coil components
  • Rough idle linked to inconsistent spark delivery
  • Loss of ignition timing stability in worn distributor assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses the Hitachi distributor configuration before ordering. Compare the original unit, connector layout, and mounting style to confirm application match. Because this is a complete distributor assembly, installation is typically more efficient than rebuilding an older unit, but final timing and ignition checks should be performed after replacement.

Quality Assurance

WAI manufactures this distributor as a 100% new assembly using high-grade materials and tests each unit for long-lasting performance. The part is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
