    Hi, I am looking or a replacement distributor cap and rotor for this vehicle. I am being told that there is no such thing and that the wires for the spark plugs are sold in sets of 3, one for the coil side and one for the wire side? Strange. I recall removing and replacing the rotor, distributor and wires for this vehicle before along with the 6 spark plugs. Does anyone have part numbers should they have the same vehicle? The engine is a v6 3.4L

    Your vehicle is equipped with coilpacks in lieu of a distributor cap and rotor.

    Only engine that used a distributor cap was the 3RZ (2.7 I4) and that was for early models. They later moved to a coil pack setup.

    You can see it plain as day when you open your hood. Takes 30 mins total to replace your plugs, wires, and coilpacks.

    Coil packs rarely go bad.

    Replace the plugs and wires with OEM or OEM Supplier parts.
