Standard Ignition Distributor Cap P/N:JH-155
Route high-voltage spark from the coil to each plug wire in firing order with the Standard Ignition Distributor Cap JH-239, a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2000 Nissan Sentra, 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier and 1998-2017 Nissan Tsuru. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The distributor cap houses the terminals that the rotor sweeps past as it turns, passing spark to each plug wire. Over time a cap can crack, develop carbon tracks, or build up corrosion on its terminals. Signs that this part may need replacing include misfires, hard starting, rough running, or visible cracks and burned terminals. Diagnose the cause first. If a worn cap is behind the problem, JH-239 replaces it.
