Compatible Models

We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.

Compatible equipment / model
  • 1996-1998 Honda Civic 1.6L with distributor code TD80
  • 1996-1997 Honda Del Sol 1.6L with matching TD80 connectors

Product Overview

A crank-no-start with no spark, an intermittent stall when hot, or oil inside the distributor can lead to the complete assembly after the coil, igniter, power supply, grounds, and timing signals are tested. Connector style and distributor code are critical on these Hondas.

The distributor turns with the camshaft and contains the position sensing and ignition hardware used by the engine computer. Compare TD80 marking, mounting ears, shaft drive, cap orientation, plug count, wire colors, and engine code before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can a failed igniter cause no spark even if the distributor shaft turns? A: Yes. Test power, ground, coil, igniter, and internal sensor signals before replacing the complete unit.

Q: Does the distributor need timing adjustment? A: Yes on applicable engines. Follow the under-hood label and service procedure for base ignition timing.

Q: How do I confirm this is the correct part? A: Match TD80, engine code, connector count and shape, mounting ears, shaft end, cap towers, rotor direction, and vehicle production date.

Q: Is this supplied by the original equipment manufacturer? A: No. This is a new aftermarket item. Brand, model, and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
