Overview
The Omix-Ada distributor cap rotor for the 4.0L 6 cylinder engine, part number 17246.06, is a direct replacement rotor for the distributor cap. It is built to original specifications and sold as an OE replacement Jeep part.
No vehicle years or models are named, so the 4.0L 6 cylinder engine is the only application detail given.
Distributor cap and rotor wear
The rotor carries high voltage from the center of the cap to each terminal in turn, so its tip wears from the spark that jumps across it. Burned or pitted tips reduce spark strength and can cause misfires, especially under load. The inside of the cap can also develop carbon tracks or hairline cracks that let current leak to the wrong terminal.
Replace the cap and rotor together when either shows wear, and inspect the spark plug wires at the same time. Old wires with cracked boots can leak voltage and mimic a bad rotor. Clean the cap inside and out before fitting the new rotor, and confirm the cap sits fully on the housing so the locating tabs seat properly.
