can a reluctor on the distributor just break and dissapear?....there is none on mine anymore and maybe thats why my car wont start? can anyone give me anymore info on this thing. My lude is just one prob after another for me

 

maybe Im spelling it wrong...but its what the rotor attaches to on the distributor?

 

I assume you're talking about the trigger wheel. The magnetic trigger is also called a reluctor.

What year is your car? 97+ only has the one tooth CYP sensor in the distributor and it looks pretty empty.

Comparied to an OBD1 distributor:

You need to give more information about the problem. Are you getting a CEL? Is it sputtering, or not even catching.

EDIT: Well, the retarded message translator translates some of the characters in the second link to a smiley face, so it doesn't work. It'll take you to the picture index, though and you can find the picture old-dissy1.jpg.

yeah..thats what I was talking about...is this weird that it just disapeared? Oh well now I got to spend 350 for another distributor

 

oh and the motor is an h22a4...its in my 92 Si 4ws

 

check ebay for a new distributor...there is a guy on there selling some replacements very cheap...his name is flying_pat or something like that

 

What are you talking about? You mean you don't even have the single wheel at all? You should only have the single 1 tooth wheel in your H22a4 distributor. The other 2 magnetic triggers have moved to the crank in the H22a4.

 

no wheel at all...its gone

 

All I can say is Wow.

 

no ****...from looking at it..it blows my mind..where did it go...how does it break

 

i believe you ahve an OBD-2 distributor........i think they only have 1 reluctor in the distributor........OBD-1 has more because the crank position sensor is in the distributor too. i do have one laying around if you want it. i will let you have it really cheap. let me dig it up and get a pic for you.........if your interested. let me know. thanks

Please post when you figure out what the problem is!
Maybe you can look around the transmission... maybe the piece fell out there.

 

Hopefully he's fixed the problem in 7 years
