HH4 pgm-fi Distributor

Hi all, been awhile since I've been active...

I recently figured out what's probably causing my intermittent no-start.

I drove through a huge puddle and the problem got worse. After checking a few things I finally decided to open up the distributor (even though I have spark) and behold... lots of corrosion, and the little spring-loaded thing in the cap is stuck! (transmits voltage from the coil to the rotor).

I was able to modify the cap and stick a rivet and a spring in so it could contact the rotor and now the car runs quite well actually, but I still want to replace it.

Now the problem: I cannot find parts! Neither a cap nor a whole distributor. My car is fuel-injected (pgm-fi) and Honda has discontinued these parts. I'm not sure that the carburetor one will work.

Are there any other ways to get a distributor? What first comes to mind is an aftermarket one but whenever I look something up it's in Japanese and I can't get very far.

Any insight would be appreciated!

 

contact Yokohama Motors in Japan, tell them the chassis/frame number and what you need https://www.yokohamamotors.com/
also check here in the EPC https://www.epc-data.com/
what are the part numbers you need?

 

The whole distributor is 30100-P1A-004

the cap and rotor are 30102-P1A-004, and 30103-P1A-004.

 

quick google search example distributor 30100-P1A-004 https://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/avail/30100-p1a-004.html#
use one of the Japan auctions proxy bidder, they buy for you and ship, example https://buyee.jp/yahoo/auction?lang=en
Or this company in Japan which is specialized on rebuilding, they also have the distributor and their p/n is DSTE00006

cap + rotor ebay from USA https://www.ebay.com/itm/166464673879

 

Thanks for the links. I will try to order through Daiko. It looks like the correct one.

I saw the ebay ones, but they are the ones for the carbureted van.

I'll update when Daiko responds to my inquiry.

Okay so quick update.

I was able to contact jp-carparts.com and was able to purchase a rebuilt distributor through them. Unfortunately it didn't come with a cap? The main reason I bought a whole distributor was for the cap...

I've emailed them for a cap and we'll see what happens
