Pick-Up Coil: Testing and Inspection

***UPDATED BY TSB# EN91-007, JUNE 1991

Primary Coil Wire Connector:

1. Disconnect the wiring connector near the distributor.

2. Connect one end of an ohmmeter to the G+ terminal. Connect the other end to the G- terminal.

G Pickup Coil Resistance: 130 - 210 ohms

3. Connect one end of an ohmmeter to the Ne+ terminal. Connect the other end to the NE- terminal.

NE Pickup Coil Resistance: 130 - 210 ohms

Pickup Coil Air Gap:

4. Using a non magnetic feeler gauge, measure the gap between the signal rotor and pickup coil projection.

Air Gap: 0.008 - 0.016 in (0.2 - 0.4 mm)

NOTE: The air gap is not adjustable. If any of the above tests reveal a pick-up coil outside specifications, replace the distributor housing assembly.
