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°C (122°F) and
"Hot" is from 150°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.
