There is no distributor. The ignition system is coil on plug type. Each plug has its own coil.
When it breaks. The only thing that might break in a distributor that would make you change the distributor is the vacuum advance can. Points, condenser, rotor and electronic ignition parts break too, but you can change them.
it's underneath the rotor in the distributor. you have to take the distributor out to change it.
Under the cap, inside the distributor, it is easy to change with the distributor off the car, a pain to get to with it on the car.
change your distributor. its just a part inside there next to the ignition coil
On the '93-'97 GT's the ignition coil is part of the distributor. If your coil goes bad you need to change the distributor.
see my profile see link. click , maintenance then ignition timing. behold
It's EDIS ( Electronic Distributorless Ignition System )
If you are having the same issues (starting problems-no spark) that I had in my 1991 accord, I found out that there appearantly was a recall on the distributor. Do not try to replace pieces and parts of the ignition system. (ie. coil, ignition control module, etc.) Replace the entire distributor. It will save you hours of frustration.
There is no Distributor cap or rotor in a 91 Mazda Miata. All years of the Miata use electronic computer controlled ignition systems.
I would first check and probley replace the pick coil that is in the distributor, That is the item that the ignition module plugs into. You will have to take the distributor out and apart to replace it.
