Standard Motor Products Distributor Cap JH-188

 

1992-1996 would be good, as starting in 1997 the 2.2L did not use a standard distributor, and 1991 the Camry only had the 2.0L or 2.5L 4 cylinders.

 

Thanks for replies.

I will let him know about JH-188. Good info on distributor changing in 97. So, had to be 96 or older. But, it is not a 90 or 91? Any idea what is different on 90/91 versus 92-96? Any way to narrow down the year a bit more ?

 

Well, based on your picture, I’d say the engine came from another MR2, because the cam cover has the label markings facing the intake manifold instead of the Camry’s cam cover label/markings facing the exhaust manifold. The cam cover is not reversible, unless they replaced the entire head, perhaps or simply obtained new labels and applied them in the reverse orientation, which may not seem too likely.

Yes. Excellent attention to detail.

I cannot believe no one has suggested simply getting the VIN off the engine.

Yes. Great way to sort that stuff out when it comes to otherwise unknown parts.

Personally, I hate cap and rotor. Even for an older car. If it were my choice, I would look into converting it into a distributorless ignition if available.

 

The Distributor Rotor is Standard Motor Products / Intermotor part # JR-126,

this also matches up w/ a 1990-1991 MR2 Distributor on the motor, this is FYI.

1991 to 1995 are the only years that the MR2 came with the 2.2L 5SFE engine. This was the 2nd generation of MR2’s, the 1990 and prior used the 1.6L 4A engines and early 80’s models used the 1.5L 3A engines. The MR2 went through a redesign in 1989 although North America did not receive them until early 1990 as 1991 models. The SW21’s got the 2.2L 5SFE’s

So, it looks like engine is likely 90, 91 or early 92 and also likely from an MR2? When I checked on the standardbrand.com and rockauto , JH188 distributor cap and JR126 distributor rotor were used on 2200cc for 90,91 and early 92.
.
Then starting in mid? 92 Toyota started putting the ignition coil in the distributor cap (prior 90,91, early 92 engines used external ignition coil). The mid 92 and later "coil in distributor cap" part numbers look like JH195 distributor cap and JR101 distributor rotor - see pics below from rockauto

 

Bottom line is my buddy needs a JH188 distributor cap and JR126 distributor rotor !

 

As best as we can tell. (w/ Strega doing the hard work / research.)

Part #'s, design, and fitment look to be an exact match: based on the pics posted.

Always recommend doing your own 'due diligence', if -any doubt-: a call -> and trip to the local auto parts store that has these (or comparable) parts in stock to compare in-person to verify proper fitment... is always recommended.

Exhaust side pan rail, next to the bellhousing. All 17 digits are there. If it starts with 4 = US; 2 = Canada; J = Japan. Rest also decodes just like every other VIN.
