Distributor: Testing and Inspection

NOTICE: Cold and Hot In the following sentences express the temperature of the coils themselves.
Cold is from -10°C (14°F) to 50° (1220F) and
Hot Is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).

1. REMOVE DISTRIBUTOR CAP WITHOUT DISCONNECTING HIGH-TENSION CORDS.
2. REMOVE ROTOR.





3. INSPECT AIR GAP.
- Using SST (G1 and G2 pickups) and a feeler gauge (NE pickup). measure the air gap between the signal rotor and pickup coil projection. SST 09240-00020 for G1 and G2 pickups.

Air gap: 0.2 - 0.5 mm (0.008 - 0.020 in.)

- If the air gap is not as specified, replace the distributor housing assembly.
4. DISCONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR.





5. INSPECT SIGNAL GENERATOR (PICKUP COIL) RESISTANCE.
- Using an ohmmeter. measure the resistance between terminals.





- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the distributor housing assembly.
6. RECONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR.
7. REINSTALL ROTOR.
8. REINSTALL DISTRIBUTOR CAP.
