Airtex 4P1166 Distributor Ignition Pick-Up Coil

The Airtex 4P1166 is a replacement distributor ignition pick-up coil engineered to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) specifications in form, fit, and function. Also commonly referred to as a magnetic pick-up, reluctor sensor, or distributor stator, this component is a critical part of the electronic ignition system.

The pick-up coil is mounted inside the distributor and works by detecting the passing teeth of the reluctor wheel as the distributor shaft rotates. This generates a small voltage signal that is sent to the ignition module or engine control module (ECM), which in turn triggers the ignition coil to fire at precisely the right moment for each cylinder. A worn or failed pick-up coil can cause hard starting, engine misfires, rough idle, stalling, or a complete no-start condition.

Key Features:

• Engineered and tested to meet or exceed OE specifications
• New design and materials enhance performance, longevity, and signal output
• Direct-fit replacement for straightforward installation
• Restores proper ignition timing and reliable spark delivery
• Manufactured by Airtex Automotive Division, a trusted name in ignition and fuel delivery components

Replacing a faulty distributor pick-up coil with the Airtex 4P1166 is a cost-effective way to restore dependable ignition system performance and eliminate hard-to-diagnose driveability issues caused by a weak or failing magnetic sensor.
