/,,,.I i,,jrr/io,, S~S,W1, ANNEXE : D - ADJUSTING THE IDLING SPEED AND THE EXHAUST EMISSION
CHECKING CONDITIONS
1.
Checking the idling speed must be carried out
on a clean engine on which the ignition and the
valve clearances are properly adjusted and
fitted with a clean air-filter.
2. Check that the throttle butterfly returns correctly
to its stop.
3. Do not load the alternator by switching an any
of the electrical components, except the iqnition
and the electric cooling fan (s) 4.
Run the engine to bring the oil temperature up
to 70 +o 80’ C ( wait for the electric cooling
fan is) to cut in ). IMPORTANT : Use exclusively (I high tension
tachometer ( do not damage the H.T. lead of
the ignition wiring harness ).
ADJUSTMENT
1. Check that the butterfly is not jammed in position
when it is resting against its stop.
2. Wait for the electric cooling fan (s) to cut in.
3. Use screw ( 1 ) to adjust the idling speed to 850
to 900 rpm.
4. Check the exhaust emission :
The resulting amount of CO - CO2 ( corrected CO
reading 1 must be beI& 4.5 %.
In case this reading cannot be obtained, check the
valve clearances, the ignition, the fuel pressure,
the air-tightness of the aircircuit, and the complete
fuel injection system.
5. On (I vehicle fitted with optional oirtonditioning
switch the compressor on, and adjust the idling
speed from 1000 to 1050
rpm, by adjusting the
screw on the auxiliary box located next to the
electro-vol”e.

TRANSISTORISED IGNITION WITH ELECTROMAGNETICALLY CREATED IMPULSES
$ OPERATING PRINCIPLE
?
:
I
,D The electronic ignition comprises a coil ( 1 1. (I transistorised module ( 2) which includes among other components.
-
.f a power transistor working as a contact breaker.
and a distributor (3 1 with a magnetic pick-up ( impulse generator )
and an H.T. rotor.
;
ii
:
F The primary current from the coil goes through a switching transistor situated in the module ( the earthing is carried
“7
out via the fixing bracket for the coil mrd module assembly ).
As an impulse is created by the sensor in the distributor. it switches off the transistor and thus cuts off the flow
of current in the coil primhry circuit. which causes a (< High Tension 1) current in the coil secondary circuit.
The module is located in the distributor..replocinq the contact breaker unit in a conventional ignition system. It
comprises a sensor (4) and a 4-point star ( 5 ).
The,sensor has a permanent moqnet inside a winding. This windinq is connected electrically to the module
I
/
The 4-point star is made of metal. and has one star per cylinder. It is fitted in place of the rotor mm cam in (I
conventional ignition system.
