charging FIAT TEMPRA 1988 Service And Repair Manual

Mains Electricity
Avoid the use of mains electricity when working on the vehicle,
whenever possible. Use rechargeable tools and a DC inspection
lamp, powered from a remote 12V battery
-
both are much
safer. However, if you do use mains-powered equipment,
ensure that the appliance is wired correctly to its plug, that
where necessary it is properly earthed (grounded), and that the
fuse is of the correct rating for the appliance. Do not use any
mains powered equipment in damp conditions or in the vicinity
of fuel, fuel vapour or the vehicle battery.
Always use an RCD (Residual Current Device) circuit breaker
with mains electricity. Then, if there is a short, the RCD circuit
breaker minimises the risk of electrocution by instantly cutting
the power supply.
Ignition System
Never work on the ignition system with the ignition switched
on, or with the engine being turned over on the starter, or
running and you are recommended never to do so.
Touching certain parts of the ignition system, such as the HT
leads, distributor cap, ignition coil etc., can result in a severe
electric shock or physical injury as a hand is pulled sharply away.
Voltages produced by electronic ignition systems are much
higher than those produced by conventional systems and could
prove fatal, particularly to people with cardiac pacemaker
implants. Consult your handbook or main dealer if in any
doubt.
Cooling Fan
On many vehicles, the electric cooling fan can switch itself on
even with the ignition turned off. This is especially likely after
driving the car and parking it before turning off, after which
heat rises to the top of the engine and turns the fan on,
suddenly and without warning. If you intend working in the
engine bay, it's best to do so when the engine is cold, to
disconnect the battery, or keep away from the fan, if neither of
these are possible.
Battery
Never cause a spark, smoke, or allow a naked light near the
vehicle's battery, even in a well ventilated area. Highly explosive
hydrogen gas is given off as part of the charging process.
Battery terminals on the car should be shielded, since a spark
can be caused by any metal object which touches the battery's
terminals or connecting straps.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before disconnecting the battery earth
(ground) terminal read the relevant FACT FILE in Chapter 5
regarding saving computer and radio settings.)
When using a battery charger, switch off the power supply
before the battery charger leads are connected or disconnected.
If the battery is not of the 'sealed-for-life' type, loosen the filler
plugs or remove the cover before charging. For best results the
battery should be given a low rate trickle charge overnight. Do
not charge at an excessive rate or the battery may burst.
Always wear gloves and goggles when carrying or when
topping up the battery. Acid electrolyte is extremely corrosive
and must not be allowed to contact the eyes, skin or clothes.
Brakes and Asbestos
Obviously, a car's brakes are among its most important safety
related items. ONLY work on your vehicle's braking system if
you are trained and competent to do so. If you have not been
trained in this work, but wish to carry out the jobs described in
this book, we strongly recommend that you have a garage or
qualified mechanic check your work before using the car.
Whenever you work on the braking system components, or
remove front or rear brake pads or shoes: i) wear an efficient
particle mask; ii) wipe off all brake dust from the brakes after
spraying on a proprietary brand of brake cleaner (never blow
dust off with compressed air); iii) dispose of brake dust and
discarded shoes or pads in a sealed plastic bag; iv) wash your
hands thoroughly after you have finished working on the
brakes and certainly before you eat or smoke; v) replace shoes
and pads only with asbestos-free shoes or pads. Note that
asbestos brake dust can cause cancer if inhaled; vi) always
replace brake pads and/or shoes in complete 'axle' sets of four
-

never replace the pads/shoes on one wheel only.
Brake Fluid
Brake fluid absorbs moisture rapidly from the air and can
become dangerous resulting in brake failure. You should
change the fluid in accordance with your vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations or as advised in this book. Never store (or
use) an opened container of brake fluid. Dispose of the
remainder at your Local Authority Waste Disposal Site, in the
designated disposal unit, not with general waste or with waste
oil.
Engine Oils
Always wear disposable plastic or rubber gloves when draining
the oil from your engine, i) Note that the drain plug and the oil
are often hotter than you expect. Wear gloves if the plug is too
hot to touch and keep your hand to one side so that you are
not scalded by the spurt of oil as the plug comes away; ii) There
are very real health hazards associated with used engine oil. In
the words of one manufacturer's handbook "Prolonged and
repeated contact may cause serious skin disorders, including
dermatitis and cancer." Use a barrier cream on your hands and
try not to get oil on them. Always wear gloves and wash your
hands with hand cleaner soon after carrying out the work. Keep
oil out of the reach of children; iii) NEVER, EVER dispose of old
engine oil into the ground or down a drain. In the UK, and in
most EC countries, every local authority must provide a safe
means of oil disposal. In the UK, try your local Environmental
Health Department for advice on waste disposal facilities.
Plastic Materials
Many of the materials used (polymers, resins, adhesives and
materials acting as catalysts and accelerators) contain dangers in
the form of poisonous fumes, skin irritants, and the risk of fire

SAFETY FIRST!
Step 1: Take note of the location and identification of the

main
components:
Q Step 2: Before starting to remove the unit, unplug all of

the
distributor cap
HT
leads.
M | The TDC and RPM sensor (illustration Job 4-
1, part 4) is correctly positioned during
production and its (adjustable) mounting
plate should not be moved. (In fact, the sensor can be
removed from and refitted to the mounting plate - only the
latter is adjustable.) To prevent the plate from being moved
accidentally, one of the bolts holding the mounting plate to
the engine is of the 'shear' type and has no flats. If there is a
need to adjust the sensor mounting plate, special FIAT tool
1895898000 is required and this then becomes a job for your
FIAT dealer, who will also replace the shear bolt.

PRECAUTIONS -
To be taken when working on a car

with this system:
i) - Never
attempt to start the car with poor battery
connections.

ii) - Do
not use a fast charger to start the engine.

iii) -
Don't disconnect the battery while the engine is
running.

iv) -
Before fast charging
-
disconnect the battery.

vj - Remove
the ECU (electronic control unit) before

putting
the car in a bodyshop paint oven over
80
degrees Celsius.
vi) -
Make sure the ignition is OFF before plugging in

or unplugging
the ECU multi-plug.

vii) -
When electric welding
-
disconnect the battery.
Q Step 5: Turn the engine so that No. 4 piston is at TDC
(compression stroke). See Chapter
5,
Servicing Your Car,
Job 25 Refit the distributor in the reverse order of removal1
with the nuts just loose enough to allow ration of the
distributor body.
• Step 6: E3 INSIDE INFORMATION! At this point a FIAT
agent would fit tool No.1895896000 (1) to the distributor
body and rotate it until the centre of the rotor arm (2) is
aligned with the '0' reference mark on the tool. If such a
tool is not for hire, exactly align the two halves of the
previously scribed mark. This will do the same job
providing the distributor was correctly positioned in the
first place! Tighten the securing nuts. Q
• Step 7: Refit the distributor cap and HT leads.
Job S. Electronic ignition.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to check
either of the two systems described in this
manual without the use of the correct FIAT
diagnostic equipment. If your engine is malfunctioning and
you suspect the ignition, ask your FIAT agent to check it.

IGNITION PRECAUTIONS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS
WHEN WORKING ON PETROL-ENGINED
VEHICLES WITH FUEL INJECTION - ELECTRONIC
IGNITION SYSTEMS:
• never start the engine when the electrical terminals are
poorly connected or loose on the battery poles;
• never use a quick battery charger to start the engine;
• never disconnect the battery from the car circuit with the
engine running;
• when charging the battery quickly, first disconnect the
battery from the vehicle circuit;
• if the vehicle is placed in a bodyshop drying oven after
painting at a temperature of more than 80 degrees Celsius,
first remove the injection/ignition ECU;
• never connect or disconnect the ECU multiple connector
with the ignition key in MARCIA position;
• always disconnect battery negative lead before carrying out
electrical welding on vehicle.
Note that some systems contain one memory that is always
active (stand-by memory) and that stores learnt self-adaptive
values. Because this data is lost when the battery is discon-
nected, this operation should be carried out as infrequently as
possible.
Refer to illustrations in Job 1 for typical layouts.
It's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the type of fuel
system fitted to your car. These are the main types.
• Type 1: This is the 1400/1600cc carburettored engines
fuel system.
SAFETY FIRST!
• The high pressure pipework on a petrol or diesel fuel
injection system can retain its pressure for days even
after the engine has been switched off.
• When you disconnect the pipework, a jet of fuel can
be emitted under very high pressure
-
strong enough to
penetrate the skin or damage the eyes.
• NEVER work on the fuel pipework when the engine is
running (except when bleeding Diesel injectors
-
see Job
18.
• ALWAYS place a rag over a union while it is being
undone until all the pressure has been let out of the
system.
• You must wear strong rubber gloves and goggles
when disconnecting the fuel injection system's high
pressure pipework. Always disconnect VERY slowly,
letting pressure out progressively.
• See Job 8 for details of how to depressurise the
system.
• Disconnect the battery negative earth before working
on the fuel system.
• Work outdoors and away from sources of flame or
ignition.
• ALWAYS wear rubber gloves
-
don't let your skin come
into contact with fuel.

WIRING DIAGRAMS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all of the components listed here
are fitted to all models.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
3. We have sometimes shown the wiring diagram for a
'highest' spec, model, in the knowledge that 'lower'
spec, models are usually similar with the deletion of
certain components.
1. There are several hundred FIAT wiring diagrams for
the whole TIPO range. This is a representative selection,
covering the majority of applications. However, in the
event that your car's details are not covered here,
consult your nearest FIAT dealer.
2 All of the following are Tipo wiring diagrams. Tempra
saloons and estates are essentially similar.
4. 'EEC Stage 2 Engines' In late 1994, Tipo 1.4 and 2 -
Litre and Tempra 1.6 MPI vehicles were modified to suit
new emission regulations. These changes were NOT only
engine-related. Vehicles covered by this manual are Tipo
1.4 (with engine code no. 836A4.000) and Tempra 1.6
(with engine code 159B9.000). See Page 27 for location
of codes.
