Detailed Description

WAI DST45402 is a complete ignition distributor assembly for Mitsubishi Mirage models from 1997 through 2002. It is manufactured with all-new components and tested before release to help ensure consistent ignition performance and direct installation. The Hall effect design supports accurate ignition signal delivery, while the aluminum housing helps maintain OE-style durability and fit.

This part is a practical choice when replacing a worn or failing Mitsubishi Mirage distributor, especially when the original unit has issues with spark timing, signal output, or internal wear. The DST45402 is built as a ready-to-install assembly, making it a focused solution for ignition system service on the Mirage platform.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by distributor wear
• Intermittent ignition signal loss
• Rough idle related to timing inconsistency
• Misfire conditions tied to distributor failure
• Weak or unstable spark delivery

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year and engine application before installation on your Mitsubishi Mirage. Compare the original distributor connector, mounting points, and cap orientation to confirm proper match. After installation, check ignition timing and inspect related ignition components to ensure the system is operating correctly.

Because this is a complete distributor assembly, DST45402 is suited for technicians and DIY repairs that call for a direct replacement rather than rebuilding the original unit. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
