Keep every high-voltage spark headed to the right cylinder with the Standard Ignition Distributor Cap JH-233. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-1998 Mazda MPV (V6-3.0L), restoring the ignition system's path from the rotor out to your spark plug wires.
Distributes the spark: carries high-voltage current from the ignition rotor to each spark plug wire terminal in the engine's firing order.
Signs it may need replacing: cracks, carbon tracking, or corroded terminals can lead to misfires, rough running, or hard starting — if a worn cap is the cause, this replaces it.
Direct-fit application: made to replace the distributor cap on the listed Mazda MPV without guesswork.
A distributor cap sits over the distributor and provides the fixed terminals the rotor sweeps past, handing off the ignition charge that fires each cylinder. Because a fault can share symptoms with other ignition components, diagnose the cause before replacing. Pair it with a fresh rotor as directed by the service procedure for the best result.
Manufacturer part number JH-233 (also JH233). Fitment: 1996-1998 Mazda MPV (V6-3.0L). See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the match for your vehicle.
