Help route high-voltage spark to each cylinder in firing order with the Standard Ignition Nissan Sentra distributor cap, part number JH-261. It is listed as a replacement for the 2001 Nissan Sentra. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The distributor cap works with the rotor to send high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plug wires. Over time a cap can crack, develop carbon tracks, or collect corrosion on its terminals. These are signs it may need replacing, especially alongside misfires, hard starting, or rough running.
If a worn or damaged cap is behind your ignition trouble, JH-261 replaces that component. Diagnose the cause first, since misfires can also come from the plugs, wires, or coil.
