Standard Ignition Distributor Cap P/N:JH-253
$42.99

Carry ignition voltage cleanly to each spark plug wire with the Standard Distributor Cap JH-253. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus, 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring and 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details. The cap material is designed for less carbon tracking and greater resistance to electrical breakdown.

The distributor cap covers the rotor. As the rotor turns, it passes high voltage to each plug-wire terminal in turn. If a cracked, carbon-tracked or corroded cap is behind a misfire, hard starting or rough running, this cap replaces it.

  • Quality control throughout: Standard is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products. It controls quality through the whole manufacturing process, from componentry to the finished product.
  • Insulating cap material: The cap is made of high dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin. It is intended to reduce carbon tracking and resist electrical breakdown.
  • RFI resistors where specified: These are designed to suppress radio static and potential ECU-damaging voltage spikes.
  • Solid brass terminals where available: These give better connections and greater resistance to electrical pitting and corrosion.

Standard's distributor caps and rotors draw on decades of research and development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the right Dodge Stratus distributor cap for my car?

The JH-253 is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus. The Buyer's Guide tab shows the engine details for each application.

Will it work as a Mitsubishi Eclipse distributor cap or on a Chrysler Sebring?

Yes. It is listed for the 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse and the 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring, and the Buyer's Guide tab has the rest of its applications.

What does a distributor cap do?

It covers the rotor. As the rotor turns beneath it, the cap passes ignition voltage to each terminal, and those terminals feed the spark plug wires in turn.

What is this distributor cap made of?

Standard makes it from high dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin. The material is designed for less carbon tracking and greater resistance to electrical breakdown.

What are signs a distributor cap may need replacing?

Cracks, carbon tracks or corroded terminals, along with misfires, hard starting or rough running, can be signs. Diagnose the cause first, because other ignition parts can cause similar symptoms.
