Detailed Description
The WAI DST35406 distributor is a direct-fit ignition replacement for select 1994-1997 Mazda MX-3, 1995-1996 Mazda Protege, and 1995-1997 Kia Sephia applications. Built with all-new components, this unit is designed to restore ignition timing control and spark distribution without rebuilding the original distributor. The DST35406 part number is a practical choice when replacing a worn distributor on a Mazda Protege or Kia Sephia with OE-style fitment requirements.
This part cross-references Mazda and Kia OE numbers such as B6BF-18-200A and MB6BF-18-200A for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Hard starting caused by distributor wear
- Intermittent ignition signal loss
- Rough idle related to worn internal distributor components
- Misfire concerns tied to cap, rotor, or coil deterioration
- Timing instability from a failing distributor assembly
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify engine and emissions configuration before installation, especially on 1996 Mazda Protege California emissions applications. Confirm connector alignment, cap seating, and rotor orientation during replacement. Because this is a complete distributor assembly, it is intended to replace the existing unit rather than be rebuilt in place. Always follow the vehicle service manual for timing and final inspection procedures.
