Nissan Xterra Distributor

The Distributor plays the role of providing necessary spark in the different engine of the Nissan Xterra. Indeed, as a means of connecting high voltage current from the ignition coil to the spark plugs while making sure the spark plug fires in the right sequence, the distributor plays a vital role in combustion. Through the years, distributor systems have also become more sophisticated; once the breaker points have been replaced by longer lasting non-contacting sensors. Present day Nissan Xterra cars and trucks may incorporate electronic distributorless ignition systems like Coil on Plug (COP) systems which give improved reception of the ignition spark and effectiveness. Moreover, new designs of the ignition systems such as the coil packs as well as individual coils for each spark plug have rendered the distributor systems most unnecessary in modern car designs.
