The EP-TD-42 is a complete TEC OBD1 ignition distributor for the Honda Civic 1.6L D16Z6 VTEC engine in the EG-generation Civic EX, Si, and Del Sol Si from 1992 through 1995. The D16Z6 with its VTEC variable valve timing system is the most celebrated engine of the fifth-generation Civic -- a high-revving, fuel-efficient four-cylinder that gave the EG Civic its performance character and made it a foundation of the tuner car culture.

The TD-42 VTEC distributor is distinct from the TD-41 non-VTEC unit and the two are not interchangeable. The VTEC D16Z6 distributor has a different TDC sensor position relative to the non-VTEC D15B, reflecting the different cam timing requirement of the VTEC head. The OEM 30100-P08-006 is the definitive reference, alongside TD-42U and TD-48U identifiers.

Ships complete with cap and rotor. Cardone 84-17404 and Dorman 690-103 are the primary aftermarket cross-references. The EG Civic D16Z6 VTEC is one of the highest-demand Japanese compact car distributors globally.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a TEC and a Hitachi Honda distributor?
For most 1988-2000 Honda Civic and Accord models, Honda sourced distributors from two suppliers: TEC (Tokai Rika Electric) and Hitachi. The TEC and Hitachi distributors are NOT interchangeable -- they use different cap bolt patterns, different rotors, different internal components, and different external housing dimensions. You must replace your distributor with the same manufacturer type as the original. To identify your type, look for the letters TEC or the round Hitachi logo stamped on the side of your existing distributor housing. TD-series part numbers (TD-41, TD-42, TD-80, etc.) are typically TEC units. D4T and D6P prefix part numbers are Hitachi units.
What are the symptoms of a failing Honda distributor?
The most common Honda distributor failure symptoms include: intermittent no-start condition especially when the engine is hot (engine starts cold but fails to restart after reaching operating temperature -- a classic igniter failure pattern); rough or erratic idle; hesitation or stumbling under acceleration; a bouncing tachometer needle (classic sign of a failing igniter module); check engine light with OBD1 Code 9 (CYP sensor fault on 1992-1995 models) or OBD2 codes P0335/P0336 (CKP sensor), P1361/P1362 (TDC sensor), P1381/P1382 (CYP sensor), or P1399 (general misfire) on 1996-2000 models; and oil contamination inside the distributor cap (indicating failure of the internal shaft seal, part NOK BH3888E on TEC non-VTEC applications).
Does the EP-TD-42 fit the Honda Del Sol VTEC as well as the Civic EX?
Yes. The Honda Del Sol Si uses the same D16Z6 VTEC engine as the Civic EX/Si and shares the same TD-42 distributor specification (OEM 30100-P08-006). The Del Sol Si and Civic EX/Si use the same TEC VTEC distributor from 1992 through 1995. Both TD-42U and TD-48U are OEM identifiers for this same unit across the Civic and Del Sol VTEC applications.
What is the difference between the VTEC and non-VTEC Honda distributor?
For Honda Civic 1992-1995, Honda produced two distributor specifications based on the engine type. The non-VTEC distributor (TD-41, OEM 30100-P06-A02) fits the D15B non-VTEC 1.5L engine. The VTEC distributor (TD-42, OEM 30100-P08-006) fits the D16Z6 VTEC 1.6L engine. These two distributors have different mounting bolt patterns and are NOT bolt-for-bolt interchangeable between VTEC and non-VTEC cylinder heads. Additionally, the TDC position signal differs between VTEC and non-VTEC configurations, so fitting the wrong distributor type causes incorrect ignition timing and potential engine fault codes.
What is the difference between OBD1 and OBD2 Honda distributors?
Honda transitioned from OBD1 to OBD2 engine management for the 1996 model year in North America. OBD1 distributors (1992-1995) use two connectors -- a small plug for the igniter and a larger plug for the cam position sensors (CYP, TDC, CKP). OBD2 distributors (1996-2000) typically use a single larger connector. The internal sensor configuration also differs: OBD1 distributors contain CYP (Cylinder Position), TDC (Top Dead Centre), and CKP (Crank Position) sensors inside the distributor housing. OBD2 distributors move some sensors to the crankshaft position. OBD1 and OBD2 distributors are not plug-in compatible without wiring modification. Always verify your vehicle year to order the correct OBD generation.
Why does oil get inside my Honda distributor and how do I prevent it?
Oil inside a Honda distributor indicates failure of the internal shaft seal that separates the engine oil passage from the distributor electronics. The TEC non-VTEC seal is Nok BH3888E (also BH3888EO), available from specialty Honda parts suppliers. When this seal fails, engine oil wicks up the distributor shaft into the distributor housing, contaminating the igniter, coil, and internal sensors. Oil contamination causes erratic ignition signal, leading to misfires and eventually a no-start condition. Prevention: replace the internal O-ring (Honda 30110-PA1-732) at regular intervals and inspect the distributor for oil at each cap/rotor service. If oil is found inside the cap, the complete distributor or at minimum the internal shaft seal must be replaced. A complete distributor replacement is the most reliable solution.
How do I order EP-TD-42 for export or wholesale?
EP supports single-unit orders for market sampling, carton quantities for repair shops and parts counters, and container-volume wholesale orders. Standard production lead time is 15-30 days. OEM branding and private-label packaging are available for qualifying volumes. Contact our team via the inquiry form or WhatsApp for pricing and availability.
