Elementary school pencil sharpener is what it looks like. haha jk.
That is where your distributor needs to be. The adapter connected to it is the ignition coil. So your looking at a lack of a distributor. Obviously this is vital to running the engine as your spark plugs are directly connected to this component and times the ignition of gas within the cylinder to get combustion and therefore power the engine. Without this, no go. This system looks nearly identical on a YJ. Heres mine, with the orange being the oil filter and yours is white.
Pic 1: What it looks WITH a distributor and hooked up wires.
Pic 2: Pointing at spark plug wire (runs from distributor to spark plugs).
Pic 3: Pointing at distributor cap.
You can buy a complete assembly here: http://www.quadratec.com/products/p...02,55102+603,55102+604,55102+605&h=&spg=t&cv=
Hope this helps you my friend. :thumb::thumb:

distributer
2000 and up were all distributerless ignition systems. go to the junkyard and grab one for $30.

Is there anything special about removal and install?
Yes. And I would suggest you jump over to jeepforum.com and read the very very detailed discussion on this part. The specific part is know as the oil pump drive assembly. Search opda on the jeep forum and you'll get more info than you ever wanted on this. I have an 06 rubicon and just changed this part out.

Do you search opda in the search box?
Yes search opda in the tj technical forum. Be prepared it may take a very long time to read through but very valuable info there.
I went with a new Dorman unit from RockAuto.
You only have two options Dorman and Mopar. The factory unit is flawed by design so you'll want to modify the Mopar unit if you go that route.
Are you having issues with yours?
