Ignition System Volvo 240 (B19K)

Rough idle, misfires in damp conditions or sluggish cold starting often begin in the distributor. On the B19K in the Volvo 240, the distributor cap and rotor arm are classic wear points – cracks in the cap and burned contact surfaces disrupt spark transfer and cause misfiring under load.

This category brings together parts for the ignition distribution on the B19K engine. The group includes the distributor cap and rotor arm, capacitor, plus smaller mounting parts such as retainers, anchorages, screws and cross recessed screws, and a hose. When troubleshooting, a typical check is to compare an old, carbon-tracked cap with a new one: traces of leakage current on the inside of the cap reveal why the engine hesitates in damp weather.

The parts are grouped by B19K, so the version matches the engine's distributor type. During an overhaul, the cap, arm and capacitor are best replaced together for a stable spark.
