SPARK TEST
1. Disconnect the distributor lead from the distributor.
2. Hold it with insulated pliers approx. 5—10 mm
(0.20—0.39 in) from a ground.
3. Crank the engine and check that a strong blue
spark is visible.
4. If there is no spark, the ignition coil or pick-up coil
may be bad.
Check once again after replacing the ignition coil
or pick-up coil.
IGNITION TIMING
1. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tem-
perature.
2. Turn all electric loads OFF.
3. Connect a tachometer and timing light to the
engine.
4. Connect a jumper wire between the test connec-
tor and ground. (Only for FE DOHC)
5. Check the idle speed. Set to the specified speed
if necessary.
Idle speed: 750 ± 50 rpm (FE DOHC)
800 t58 rpm (F6, F8 FE—MTX)
900 i58 rpm (F8, FE—ATX
in "P" range)
950 -5o rmp (F6—ATX
in "P" range)
6. Check that the timing mark (Yellow) on the crank-
shaft pulley and the mark on the timing belt cover
are aligned.
Ignition timing:
FE DOHC: 12 ± 1° BTDC
(Test connector grounded)
Others: 6 ± 1°
(Vacuum hoses disconnected and
plugged)

8.
If
the mark is not aligned, loosen the distributor lock
bolt, and turn the distributor housing to make the
adjustment.
9. Reconnect the vacuum hoses, or disconnect the
jumper wire from the test connector.
10. Tighten the distributor lock bolt to specified torque.
Tightening torque:
18.6—25.5 Nm
(1.9—2.6 m-kg, 13.7—18.8 ft-lb)

SPARK CONTROL (Except FE DOHC)
Centrifugal Advance
1. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tem-
perature.
2. Check that the idle speed and initial ignition tim-
ing are correct.
3. Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the vacuum
control unit and plug them.

4. While gradually increasing the engine speed, use
a timing light to check the advance on the pulley.

(If the governor spring is broken,
the advance will rise very high)

INSTALLATION
Note
After installing the distributor, adjust the ig-
nition timing (Refer to 5—11).
1. Apply engine oil to the O-ring and driven gear.
76G05X-056
Note
Gear driven type, check that the No.1 cylin-
der is at top dead center and aline the distrib-
utor matching marks.
76G05X-016
2. Install the distributor and connect the high-tension
leads and distributor connector.
3. Tighten lock bolt to the specified torque.
Torque specification:
19—25 Nm (1.9—2.6 m-kg, 14—18 ft-lb)

TROUBLESHOOTING
Preliminary Check
1. Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that
the alternator warning light illuminates.
2. Start the engine, and check that the alternator warning light goes off.

ALTERNATOR 5
Warning
Disconnect the nagative battery terminal when disconnect or reconnect B terminal.
TEST 1
1. Disconnect the alternator connector (2-pin).
2. Connect the SST.
4. Connect the red clip of the adapter harness to the battery
(
+

Drive Pinion
Remove the stopper for the overrunning clutch by us-
ing a pipe as shown in the figure.
Adjustment of Pinion Gap
1. Disconnect the wiring from terminal (M).
2. Apply battery power to the terminal (S) and ground
the starter motor body, the pinion will eject outward
and then stop.
3. Measure the clearance (pinion gap) between the
pinion and the stopper.
Pinion gap: 0.5—2.0 mm (0.020—0.079 in)
Caution
Do not let electricity flow continuously for
more than 10 seconds.
If the pinion gap is not within the specified range,
make the adjustment by increasing or decreasing
the number of washers used between the magnetic
switch and the drive housing. The gap will become
smaller if the number of washers is increased.
Caution
Do not use the washers
(0.079 in) in all.
more than 2 mm
INSPECTION
Armature Coil
1. Ground of the armature coil
(1) Check for continuity between the commutator
and the core by using a circuit tester.
(2) Replace the armature if there is continuity.
