-Performance Test
NOTE: Before staning the following checks. disconnect
the wire from terminal M. and make a connection as
described below using as heavy a wire as possible (prefer-
ably equivalent to the wire used for the car).
Pull-in CoilTest:
Connect the battery as shown, lf the staner pinion pops
out. it is working proPerly.
CAUTION: Do not leavo tho batterv connost€d for more
than 10 seconds.
Hold-in Coil Test:
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal' lf the pinion
does not retract, the hold-in coil is working properly.
CAUTION: Do not loavc lhe battsry connected for mot6
than 10 ssconds.
Retracting Tosi:
Disconnect the battery also from the body. lf the pinion
retracts immediately, it is working properly.
GAUTION: Do not loave the baftery conn€ctod tor more
than 10 seconds.
Startor No-load Tost:
Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.
Connect the starter to the battery as described in
the diagram below, and confirm that the motor
starts and keeps rotating.

-lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it it necessary (see
section 'l '1 ).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and BLK
wires) from the connector holder located under the
dash on the front passenger side, then connect the
SCS service connector (T/N 07PAZ - 0010'100) to it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm with
no load {A,/T in E or E. M/T in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. 1 ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights. blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.

Loosen the distributor mounting bolts. and turn the
distributor ignition (Dl) housing counterclockwise to
advance the timing, or clockwise to retard the tim-
ing.

Tighten the distributor mounting bolts, and recheck
the ignition timing.
Disconnect the SCS service connector from the ser-
vice check connector.

Distributor Replacement
Removal:
1. Disconnect the connector from the distributor.
2. Disconnect the ignition wires from the distributor
ignition {Dl) cap.
3. Remove the mounting bolts from the distributor,
then remove the distributor from the cylinder head.

lnstallation:
NOTE: Before you install the distributor. bring the No. 1
piston to compression stroke TDC.
1. Coat a new O-ring with engine oil, then install it.
2. Slip the distributor into position
NOTE: The lug on the end of the distributor and its
mating grooves in the camshaft end are both offset
to eliminate the possibility of installing the distribu-
tor 180" out of time.
3. Installthe mounting bolts, and tighten them lightly.

NOTE:
. See section 1'l when the malfunction indicator lamp
(MlL) turned on.
. Perform an input test for the ignition control module
(lCM) after finishing the fundamental tests for the
ignition system and the fuel and emissions systems
1. Remove the distributor ignition (Dl) cap, the distrib-
utor ignition (Dl) rotor and the leak cover (TEC).
2. Disconnect the wires from the lCM.
HITACHI:

Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Check for voltage
between the BLK/YEL wire and body ground.
There should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no battery voltage, check the BLK/YEL
wire between the under-dash fuse/relay box and
rhe lcM.
. lf there is battery voltage, go to step 4.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Check for voltage
between the wire*r and body ground
There should be battery voltage.
. lfthere is no battery voltage, check:
- the ignition coil.
- the wire*1 between the ignition coil and the

CAUTION: Carelully remove the ignition wires bypulling on the rubber boots, Do not bend the wires; you
might break them inside.
'1. Check the condition of the ignition wire terminals. lf
any terminal is corroded, clean it, and if it is broken
or distorted, replace the ignition wire.
Check for broken,corroded, and bentlermrnals.IGNITION WIRE
