Keep spark going to the right cylinder with the Standard Ignition Distributor Rotor GB-373. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1985-1994 SAAB 900, the 1986-1990 and 1992-1993 SAAB 9000, the 1987-1992 Volkswagen Golf, the 1987-1989 Volkswagen Jetta, and the 1993 Volkswagen Transporter.
A distributor rotor is a wear part in the ignition system, so a fresh one helps keep the high-voltage handoff clean and consistent.
If a worn or damaged rotor is the cause of your ignition trouble, this replaces it; diagnose the underlying misfire before ordering. Many technicians renew the distributor cap at the same time since the two wear together.
