Honda CRX Distributor Reluctor

Honda CRX Distributor Reluctor is the electronic heart of the ignition system, giving the precise signal at the moment each coil is required to unleash the spark. By spinning with the camshaft, the toothed wheel of the Distributor Reluctor travels past a magnetic pickup that generates pulses that the ignition module turns into on and off commands responsible for building and collapsing the magnetic field in the coil for proper high voltage timing. Early versions of the CRX had breaker points during their early days of discussions, but Honda quickly moved beyond the breaker points, which wear out and need adjustment quite often, and instituted the newer Distributor Reluctor system, which removed the need for constant adjustment and increased spark strength. While style changes were minor, units differ in tooth count that matches cylinder numbers; the main difference from the point-type is the Distributor Reluctor needs proper gap rather than point gap. A well-aligned Honda setup will keep CRX combustion crisp and reliable, but bushing wear or looseness can allow the Distributor Reluctor to drift and upset timing, so every Honda and CRX owner should keep an eye out for play.
