Rough idle, a delayed cold start or ignition misfire on a warm engine are classic signs of a worn ignition system on the breakerless B200E and B230E. Because these fuel-injected engines run electronic ignition, a large share of the faults lie in the ignition module, the distributor cap and the ignition cables – components that age from heat and vibration.

This category gathers ignition parts that fit the Volvo 240 with the B200E and B230E specifically. The group includes ignition modules, distributor caps, ignition cable sets, retainers and brackets for mounting the module, coupling pieces, plus hose and grease for installation. During a rebuild, the distributor cap's contact pins and cracks in the cap are a typical check point – together with cracked ignition cables they often cause the hard-to-trace misfires. Thermal grease under the ignition module is an often overlooked step that counters overheating and early module failures.
