Distributor: Description and Operation
Distributor
The distributor is actually an assembly that contains the camshaft position sensor, the cap, the rotor and the shaft. The distributor is splined by a helical
gear to the camshaft and rotates providing a spark to each spark plug wire. When servicing the distributor, it is critical to ensure proper cap sealing to the
distributor body and correct installation to the camshaft. If the distributor is installed a tooth off in relation to the camshaft, a DTC sets. The distributor is
repairable.
