Distributor Repair Procedure
(Supersedes 89-027 Distributor Repair Procedure, dated July 19, 1991)


A distributor sub-assembly is available. The sub-assembly (Distributor Housing complete), includes the distributor housing, TDC sensor, crank angle sensor, and cylinder sensor. This allows the replacement of these sensors without replacing the distributor assembly. The igniter and ignition coil are not included in the sub-assembly, but are available separately. Replacement of the coil and/or the igniter are separate operations detailed in the flat rate manual.

DISASSEMBLY





1. Disconnect the connector from the distributor.

2. Disconnect the spark plug wires from the distributor cap.

3. Remove the distributor hold-down bolts, then remove the distributor from the cylinder head.

4. Remove the distributor cap, cap seal, leak cover, and rotor.


5. Transfer the igniter, ignition coil, sub-harness (if applicable), and condenser (if applicable) to the new distributor sub-assembly, as shown in the Electrical Section of the appropriate service manual.

6. Install the leak cover, cap seal, rotor, and distributor cap.

7. Reset the PGM-FI ECU as shown in the Fuel/Emissions Section of the appropriate service manual.


8. Install the distributor on the engine, warm the engine up to normal operating temperature, then adjust the ignition timing to specifications.
