Standard Ignition Distributor Ignition Pickup P/N:LX-234
Keep your Cadillac's ignition timing signal firing on cue with the Standard Ignition Distributor Ignition Pickup, part number LX-359. Mounted inside the distributor, this pickup senses the rotating shaft as the distributor turns and delivers the trigger signal the ignition control module uses to fire the coil at the right moment. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a range of 1988-1995 Cadillac models.
Signs the pickup may need replacing include a no-start, intermittent stalling, or a misfire that comes and goes, often when the engine is hot. Because those symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the ignition system before replacing; if a failed distributor pickup is the cause, this LX-359 replaces it.
