Control Modules

Welcome to JEGS, where you'll find a wide selection of top-quality distributor control modules and ignition modules for your vehicle. Our distributor control modules are crucial components in the ignition system, responsible for accurately controlling the timing and firing of the spark plugs. If you're experiencing ignition-related issues or need to replace your distributor ignition module, we have the right solutions for your needs.

What Are the Symptoms of a Bad Distributor Module?

A failing or faulty distributor module can lead to various engine performance problems. Here are some common symptoms of a bad distributor module:

• Engine misfires or rough idling: A malfunctioning module can cause misfires or irregular idling, resulting in a noticeable decrease in engine performance and smoothness.
• Difficulty starting: If the distributor module fails to send the right signals to the spark plugs, it can lead to difficulty starting the engine.
• Stalling: A malfunctioning module may cause the engine to stall unexpectedly, leading to potential safety hazards.
• Decreased fuel efficiency: Engine misfires and timing issues caused by a bad distributor module can result in reduced fuel efficiency.
• Check Engine Light: In many cases, a faulty distributor module can trigger the Check Engine Light on your dashboard.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's essential to have your distributor module inspected and replaced if necessary to avoid further engine problems and improve overall performance.

What Does the Distributor Ignition Module Do?

The distributor ignition module, also known as the control module, is a critical component of the ignition system in vehicles with traditional distributor-based systems. Its primary function is to precisely control the timing and firing of the spark plugs to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinders. The distributor module receives signals from various sensors in the engine, such as the crankshaft position sensor, and uses this data to determine the optimal timing for spark plug firing. This precise timing is essential for efficient engine operation and performance. The distributor module then sends signals to the ignition coil, which generates the high-voltage spark required to ignite the air-fuel mixture. Without a properly functioning distributor ignition module, the engine's timing and overall performance can be compromised.

How Much Does a Distributor Ignition Module Cost?

The cost of a distributor ignition module can vary based on the make and model of your vehicle and the brand of the module. At JEGS, we offer a wide range of distributor ignition modules at competitive prices. On average, you can find distributor modules starting from around $30 for basic models, with more advanced and performance-oriented options available at higher price points. When choosing a distributor ignition module, it's essential to consider factors such as compatibility with your vehicle's make and model, the ignition system type (HEI or non-HEI), and the specific features you require. We strive to provide high-quality distributor ignition modules that deliver reliable performance and durability, ensuring your vehicle's ignition system operates smoothly and efficiently.
