DISTRIBUTOR
All models are equipped with a Renix solid state ignition
module. Renix system uses a TDC sensor mounted near the flywheel. The
distributor consists of a cap and rotor. Its only function is to
distribute high voltage to appropriate spark plug. No adjustments are
required on either system.

4) Connect ISC motor connector. Turn ignition off for 10
seconds. ISC motor should fully extend. Restart engine. Engine speed
should momentarily be about 3500 RPM and return to idle speed. Turn
ignition off and disconnect tachometer. Apply sealant to adjustment
screw threads. Install air cleaner.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: On some models, it may be necessary to remove throttle body
from intake manifold, to access sensor wiring harness.
Automatic Transmission
1) Locate the square TPS connector. Note connector terminal
identification stamped on the back of the connector. Turn ignition on.
2) Connect voltmeter through back of wiring harness
Page 1290 of 1378
connector. Connect negative voltmeter lead to terminal "D" and
positive voltmeter lead to terminal "A" to check input voltage. DO NOT
disconnect TPS connector.
3) Hold throttle plate closed against idle stop and note
voltage. Input voltage should be approximately 5 volts. Disconnect
voltmeter positive lead and connect to terminal "B" to measure output
voltage.
4) With throttle plate closed, measure the output voltage.
The output voltage should be approximately .2 volts. If output voltage
is not within specification, loosen TPS retaining screws.
5) Partially tighten one retaining screw. Rotate TPS to
obtain correct output voltage. Tighten retaining screws once correct
voltage is obtained.
Manual Transmission
1) Turn ignition on. Connect voltmeter through back of wiring
harness connector. Connect negative voltmeter lead to terminal "B" and
positive voltmeter lead to terminal "C". DO NOT disconnect TPS
connector. See Fig. 4.
2) Rotate and hold throttle plate in wide open position.
Ensure throttle linkage contacts stop. Note voltmeter reading. Voltage
reading should be 5 volts at wide open throttle. Return throttle plate
to closed throttle position. Disconnect voltmeter positive lead from
sensor terminal "C" and connect it to terminal "A".
3) Rotate and hold throttle plate in wide open position.
Ensure throttle linkage contacts stop. Note voltmeter reading. Output
voltage should be 4.6-4.7 volts. If voltage is not as specified,
loosen sensor mounting screw. Loosen upper sensor mounting screw for
small adjustments and lower screw for large adjustments.
4) Adjust sensor. Tighten sensor mounting screws. Remove
voltmeter and return throttle plate to closed position. Replace sensor
if specified output voltage cannot be obtained.

and connect hose to vacuum switch. Disconnect wire connector from
knock sensor, located in cylinder head.
3) Using a jumper wire, ground knock sensor wire connector to
engine block. Start engine. With engine at idle speed (solenoid
energized), check timing. Adjust timing to one degree more than
specification (if required). See Emission Control Label.
