PROCEDURE

NOTE: "Cold" and "Hot" in the following sentences express the temperature of the coils themselves.
"Cold" is from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F).
"Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F)




1. REMOVE THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP.
- Remove the 2 bolts, and disconnect the distributor cap from the distributor housing.
2. REMOVE ROTOR.
3. REMOVE DUST PROOF COVER.

4. INSPECT AIR GAP.



- Using Special Service Tool for the G1 and G2 sensors and a feeler gauge for the NE sensor, measure the air gap between the signal rotor and sensor projection (SST 09240-00020 for G1 and G2 sensors).

Air gap: 0.2 - 0.5 mm (0.008 - 0.020 in)

- If the air gap is not as specified, replace the distributor housing assembly.

5. DISCONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR.




6. REMOVE DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING ASSEMBLY.
- Remove the bolt, pull out the distributor housing.




7. INSPECT SIGNAL GENERATOR (SENSOR) RESISTANCE.
- Using an ohmmeter measure the resistance between terminals.

Resistance between terminals (Cold):
G1 and G (-): 125 - 200 Ohms
G2 and G (-): 125 - 200 Ohms
NE and G (-): 155 - 250 Ohms

Resistance between terminals (Hot):
G1 and G (-): 160 - 235 Ohms
G2 and G (-): 160 - 235 Ohms
NE and G (-): 190 - 290 Ohms

- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the distributor housing assembly.

8. REINSTALL DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING ASSEMBLY.
9. RECONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR.
10. REINSTALL DUSTPROOF COVER.
11. REINSTALL ROTOR.





12. REINSTALL DISTRIBUTOR CAP.
- Install a new packing and distributor cap with the 2 bolts.
13. ADJUST IGNITION TIMING.

Ignition Timing: 10° BTDC
