CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
THE INJECTION SYSTEM
II. - INSPECTION AND TIMING OF THE “ROT0-DIESEL” INJECTION PUMP
Raise the LH side of the vehicle and support it on
stands.
Disconnect the battery negative lead.
Engage the 5th gear. Rotate the engine by turning the
wheel.
Set the No. 1 cylinder to the initial timing point,
Fig.1.
(look into the oil filter orifice).
- place cylinder No. 1 valves in the rocking position;
turn the crankshaft by one turn in the normal direc-
tion of engine rotation.
- align marks on the flywheel and on the crankcase
(++I.
- turn the crankshaft back through a quarter of a turn.
Remove either the plug (with a 32 mm ring spanner)
or the inspection plate depending on the type of the
pump.
Refit, Fig II or Ill, according to pump:
- the feeler,
- the support for the dial-gauge.
- the dial-gauge equipped with its right-angled lever.
Finding the pump internal timing point:
- turn the crankshaft in the direction of rotation until
the large pointer on the dial indicator starts moving
in the opposite direction.
- set “0” mark on the dial-gauge in line with the large
pointer.
Checking the injection pump timing:
- rotate the crankshaft by a quarter turn in the oppo-
site direction to its direction of rotation.
- turn back in the normal direction of rotation until the
“0” mark on the dial-gauge has been reached.
- in that position, marks (-1 and (c) should be in line,
Fig. I.
If not, re-check the timing. Timing the injection pump:
- set the engine to the initial trming point, Fig. I.
- turn the crankshaft by 114 turn in the opposite direc-
tion to normal direction of ro’tatron, then turn back
in the direction of rotation to bring marks t-+) and
+-I opposite.
Adjusting the pump timing, Fig. Ill:
Slacken off the injector pipe connections and the 4
attachment points.
Bring the pump to the injection point with the feeler
at the base of V-shaped groove (timing point).
Set the “0” mark on the dial opposite the needle on
the dial-gauge. Orientate the pump casing towards the
engine.
Slowly turn back to the injection point (needle facing
the “0” mark on the dial), by moving the pump
casing away from the engine (in the opposite direc-
tion to engine rotation).
Tighten the pump fixing nuts to 2.4 mdaN. During
this operation, the needle should not move.
Check the pump timing
Remove the timing tools.
Refit the plug, (tighten to 2 mdaN), or the inspec-
tion plate.
Seal the injection pump plug.
Tighten the injector pipe connections to 2 mdaN.
Reconnect the battery negative cable
Switch on the ignition (electrical STOP solenoid exci-
tation) and prime the fuel circuit using the manual
pump (5) located on the filter.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal to facilitate the
engine bleeding and start.
Note: the initial timing point corresponds to:
3.24 -L- 0.05 mm BTDC: M 25/648
4.32 + 0.05 mm BTDC: M 25/660 DPA pump
4.71 f 0.05 mm BTDC: M 25/660 DPC pump

Raise the R.H side of the vehicle and support it on
stands.
Disconnect the negative lead from the battery
Engage the highest gear. Using the road wheel, turn
the engine.
Set No. I cylinder to the initial timing point, Fig. I.
(look into the oil filler hole)

DAMAGED INTERNALLY WHEN REMOVING
THE DRIVING PINION, PULLER REF. H AND ITS
NUT J FROM TOOL BOX 6028.T MUST BE
USED.
Fit the nut and clamp of tool 6028.T, Fig. II.
Slacken the nut of tool 6028.T until the injection
pump drive shaft starts moving.
Disconnect the electrical STOP solenoid
Uncouple:
- the accelerator cable,
- the fast idling cable,
- the fuel supply pipe,
- the fuel return pipe.
DPC injection pump, Fig. ill:

CHECKING THE PETROL SUPPLY
829.A5-J6T.A500
Pump AC DELCO TYPE: PB3
CHECKING THE PETROL PRESSURE WITH APPARATUS 4005-T:
- Position apparatus 4005-T.
- Disconnect the carburettor fuel return pipe; fit plug (2)
- Unscrew tap @ by one turn approx.
- Start the engine.
a) Check the petrol pressure at zero delivery:
- Fully screw up the tap; the pressure should not show a reading of more than 325 m.bar for the stabilised
pressure.
b) Check the tightness of the pump delivery valve:
- Stop the engine: there should not be a sudden drop in pressure.
c) Check the tightness of the carburettor needle valve:
- Unscrew tap @ ; start the engine, leave it running for a few minutes.
- Stop the engine: there should not be a sudden drop in pressure.
- Remove apparatus 4005-T and fit the fuel supply pipe and the fuel return pipe to the carburettor
(after plug (2) has been removed).
CHECKING THE PUMP FOR LEAKS:
Close the pump delivery tube. Blow compressed air under 800 m.bar pressure into the suction pipe. Immerse the
pump in a container filled with clean White Spirit: no leak should be detected.

CHECKING THE IGNITION SYSTEM
USING CHECKING EQUIPMENT OUT 106 029T
The instrument can be utilised on CX 2400 I.E. with naturally aspirated engine and CX 2500 I.E. TURBO. Howe-
ver, on CX 2400 I.E. having an integrated electronic ignition system with a single connector E.C.U., it is neces-
sary to proceed as follows:
- connect the I.E.I. control unit to the black connector of OUT 105 029.T
- set the switch of the apparatus to the “1 connector” position
- I.E.I. with 1 or 2 sensors can be checked with this device.
a) Testing the ignition coil primary winding:
- The warning lamps, one at each coil, blink rythmically with the impulses transmitted to their primary win-
ding. Steady blinks indicate that there is enough current to generate a spark in the secondary winding.
- The switch situated under the warning lamps makes it possible for the primary windings of both coils to
be insulated, by pushing, in the “out of circuit“ position, any interference coming from the HT circuit when
the frequency of illumination for sensor warning lamps is checked.
- If the warning lamps blinking is correct, the failure may be caused by:
- the ignition information to the fuel injection control unit, (paragraph c),
- the secondary winding (coil wires, coils),
- any other item required for a correct operation of the engine such as injection, valve gear, rockers etc.) -
If the warning lamps blinking is not correct, examine the control unit warning lamps, (paragraph b),
b) Testing the sensors: -
The warning lamp connected with the “datum” sensor blinks rythmically with the impulses transmitted by
the peg, i.e. one blink per engine revolution, (2 sensors fitted).
- The warning lamp connected with the “flywheel pick up” sensor, blinks rythmically with the impulses sent ’
by the flywheel teeth.
The frequency of the flashes is such as they can hardly be seen.
Apparently, the lamp stays on, (1 or 2 sensors fitted).
On the CX 2400 I.E. and 2500 I.E. with normally aspirated engine, the vacuum pressure warning lamp lights
up momentarily after a sharp acceleration: this warning lamp is no longer usable on the CX 2500 I.E. with
turbocharger.
c) Tests related with the I.E.I. control unit:
E.C.U. functions: -
The rev. counter warning lamp blinks rythmically with the impulses transmitted to the rev. counter.
- The injection warning lamp blinks rythmically with the impulses sent to the fuel injection control unit
