3. REMOVE ROTOR
Remove the 2 screws and rotor.
ASSEMBLY HINT: Align the hollow of the signal rotor with the
protrusion of the rotor.
DISTRIBUTOR INSPECTION
INSPECT SHAFT
Turn the shaft and check that it is not rough or worn.
If it feels rough or worn, replace the distributor housing as-
sembly.
DISTRIBUTOR INSTALLATION
1. REMOVE NO.3 TIMING BELT COVER
(a) Remove the oil filler cap.
(b) Using a 5 mm hexagon wrench, remove the 6 bolts and timing
belt cover.
2. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with timing
mark ºOº of the No.1 timing belt cover. IG±16
± IGNITION SYSTEM(2JZ±GE)
Page 1152 of 2543
(b) Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys
and No.4 timing belt cover are aligned.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) and align the
mark as above.
3. INSTALL DISTRIBUTOR
(a) Install a new O±ring to the distributor housing.
(b) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the O±ring.
(c) Align the marks of the drive gear and distributor housing.
(d) Insert the distributor, aligning the protrusion of the flange with
that of the stud bolt on the cylinder head.
(e) Install the distributor with the nut. Lightly tighten the nut.
4. REINSTALL NO.3 TIMING BELT COVER
5. CONNECT HIGH±TENSION CORDS TO DISTRIBUTOR
Connect the 7 high±tension cords to the distributor.

PRECAUTION
1. With a tachometer connected to the system, connect the
tester probe of the tachometer to terminal IG of the
DLC1.
2. With a timing light connected to the system, connect the
tester probe to the green wire of the igniter
3. As some tachometers are not compatible with this
ignition system, we recommend that you confirm the
compatibility of your unit before use.
4. Never allow the tachometer terminals to touch ground as
it could result in damage to the igniter and/or ignition
coil.
5. Do not disconnect the battery while the engine is
running.
6. Check that the igniter is properly grounded to the body.

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
SPARK TEST
CHECK THAT SPARK OCCURS
(a) Remove the ignition coil. (See ignition coil removal)
(b) Remove the spark plug.
(c) Install the spark plug to the ignition coil, and connect the
ignition coil connecter.
(d) Ground the spark plug.
(e) Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
HINT: To prevent gasoline from being injected from injectors
during this test, crank the engine for no more than 1±2 se-
conds at time.
If the spark does not occur, do the test as follows:
SPARK TEST
CHECK CONNECTION OF IGNITION COIL, IGNITER
CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO IGNITION COIL AND
IGNITER
1. Turn ignition switch to ON.
2. Check that there is battery voltage at
ignition coil positive (+) terminal.
CHECK RESISTANCE OF IGNITION COIL(See page IG±23)Resistance: Cold Hot
Primary 0.54 ± 0.84 0.68 ± 0.98
CHECK RESISTANCE OF CAMSHAFT AND
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

CHECK IGT SIGNAL FROM ECM(See page EG±519)
TRY ANOTHER IGNITER
Connect securely.
Check wiring between ignition switch
to ignition coil and igniter.
Replace the ignition coil.
Replace the camshaft and crankshaft position
sensor.
Check wiring between ECM,and igniter, and
then try another ECM.
