Distributor Installation
Coat a new O-ring with engine oil, then install it.
Slip the distributor into position.
NOTE: The lugs on the end of the distributor and
its mating grooves in the camshaft end are both off-
set to eliminate the possibility ot installing the dis-
tributor 18Oo out of time.
DISTRIBUTOR END CAMSHAFT END
Install the mounting bolts and tighten them tem-
porarily.
Connect the 2-P and 8-P connectors to the dis-
tributor.

1.When reassembling the dislributor, install the distri-
butor rotor so on the shaft that it faces in the direc-
tion shown (toward the No. 1 cylindetl,
2.Align the index mark on the distributor housing with
the index mark on the end of the shaft.

CAUTION: Caretully removo the ignition wiros by pull-
ing on tho rubbq boots. Do not bend the wilos; you might
bl€ak tham inside.
1 . Check the condition of the wire terminals. lf any te.-
minal is corroded, clean it. and if it is broken or dis-
torted. reolace the wire.
IGNITION WIRE
Connect ohmmeter probes and measure resistance.

lgnition Coil Test
With the ignition switch OFF, remove the distribu-
lor cap.
Remove the two screws to disconnect the BLK^/EL
and WHT/BLU wires from terminals A (+ ) and B ( - )respectively.
3. Using an ohmmetet, measur€ tesistance betwe€nthe terminals, Replace the coil if the resistance is notwithin specifications.

lgnition Coil Replacement
1 . With the ignition switch OFF, remove the disrribu-
tor cap, rotor, and cap seal, then remove the leak
cover.
Remove the two screws to disconnect the BLK/YEL
and WHT/BLU wires from the coil.
Remove the two screws and slide the ignition coil

Control Module (lCMl Input Test
NOTE:
a See section I 1 if the malfunction indicator lamD (MlL)
blinks.
a Pertorm an input test for the ignition control module
(lCM) after finishing the fundamental tests for the ig-
nition system and the fuel and emissions systems.
a The tachometer should operate normally.
1. Remove the distributor cap, the distributor rotor, and
the leak cover.
2. Disconnect the BLK/YEL, WHT/BLU, YEL/GRN, and
BLU wires from the lCM.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON. Check for voltage be-
tween the BLK/YEL wire and body ground.
There should be battery voltage.
a lf there is no battery voltage, check the BLK^/EL
wire between the ignition switch and the lCM.
a lf there is battery voltage, go to step 4.

4.Turn the ignition switch ON. Check for voltage be-
tween the WHT/BLU wire and body ground.
There should be battery voltage.
a lf there is no battery voltage, check:- lgnition coil- WHT/BLU wire between the ignition coil and
the ICM
a lf there is battery voltage. go to step 5.
Check the YEL/GRN wire between the ECM and the
tcM.
Check the BLU wi.e between the tachometer and the
rcM.
It all tests are normal, replace the lCM.
