The engine needs two things: fuel and ignition. The fuel is handled by a carb or a fuel injection system. Fuel injection in your case. The ignition is an handled by an electrical system that provides the spark. A distributor is part of the ignition system that distributes the voltage to the spark plugs. But wait a minute, your car doesn't have a traditional distributor as such; it has a Direct Ignition cassette (DI) on top of the engine that feeds the spark plugs directly. Johannes
