    I recently had the 120K service done on my 1999 Accord EX V6 automatic. On the invoice my friendly Honda dealer charged me 35.00 for a cap and rotor. I have now been told by another mechanic that this V6 does not have a cap and rotor.

    Did I get rooked by the Honda dealer or did I get bad advice from the other mechanic ?

    Thanks.

    they do have the cap and rotor, its connected to the spark wires and is
    a circular piece for the cap and when you open the cap you'll see the
    rotor.

    www.slhonda.com 's fine parts site (with drawings) confirms
    the 99 Accord V6 has a cap and roter. They go for about $25
    + $6 shipping. Your dealer was fair.

    Your mechanic friend may have been thinking of newer
    Accords, which in fact do not all use the conventional cap
    and rotor but instead have what are called "distributorless
    ignition systems" (among other things).
    if u got ignition wires u got rotor as well, if u dont have
    it then u got owned, check it urself :)

    Thank you for this information. I think they were both right because the
    mechanic friend was talking about a 2000 Accord while the other car was a
    99. Maybe that's when they made the switch.

    Thanks again.
