    The Cost
    I have a 93 Honda Civic EX, how much should it cost to get the distributor replaced? I think the garage is planning on using a rebuilt distributor, not sure.

    Thank you

    Around $125 for a new Honda distributor housing. You can reuse your rotor, distributor cap, coil, and ICM. Easy job.. . Labor should not be too much.

    see how much there wanting to charge you you can get a new for $120 or a used one for around 50 or so the best place to get them is eBay you may not want to get them from a parts store they are very high around $240 or so here's a link to what you need http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-95...18498100QQrdZ1 but just to put on the distributor on should not be very high at all only takes about 5 minutes or so

    To replace the distributor you need to do exactly this:

    - remove spark plug wires from spark plugs
    - disconnect 2 connectors (easily reached)
    - undo 3 bolts that hold the distributor to the engine head
    - take the distributor out

    If I had to do it for someone, I'd charge them $1 or $2. I'd do it on my way to work and still not be late.
