Standard Ignition Distributor Cap P/N:JH-125
Help route ignition voltage cleanly to every spark plug wire with the Standard Ignition JH-162, a direct-fit Nissan D21 distributor cap for the 1986-1989 model years that also fits the 1985-1988 Nissan Maxima and 1987-1989 Nissan Pathfinder. As the rotor turns beneath it, the cap carries high voltage from the ignition coil out to each plug wire terminal in firing order. A cracked or carbon-tracked cap can interfere with that spark delivery.
Signs a distributor cap may need replacing include cracks, carbon tracks or corroded terminals inside the cap, misfires, hard starting and rough running. Worn plug wires, spark plugs, the rotor or the coil can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the cap is at fault, the JH-162 replaces it.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does a distributor cap do?
It carries high voltage from the ignition coil, through the turning rotor, out to each spark plug wire terminal in firing order. It also covers the top of the distributor.
Is the JH-162 a Nissan Maxima distributor cap?
Yes. The JH-162 is listed for the 1985-1988 Nissan Maxima. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Will it work as a Nissan Pathfinder distributor cap?
It is listed for the 1987-1989 Nissan Pathfinder. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
What is the cap made of?
Standard makes its distributor caps from high dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin. The material is intended to reduce carbon tracking and resist electrical breakdown.
What are signs a distributor cap may need replacing?
Look for cracks, carbon tracks or corroded terminals inside the cap, plus misfires, hard starting or rough running. Other ignition parts can cause these symptoms too, so diagnose the cause first.
