Distributor: Testing and Inspection

DISTRIBUTOR 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°C (122°F) 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 09240-00020 (G1 and G2 pickups) and a feeler gauge (NE pickup), measure the air gap between the signal rotor and pickup coil projection.

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.
