Replace Distributor
Repair or replace harness or connector
Check for open and short in harness and connector between engine control
module and distributor (See page IN±30).
Disconnect distributor connector.
Measure resistance between each terminal shown
in the table below.
ªColdº is from Ð 10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F)

(212°F).
wDuring cranking or idling, check waveforms between
terminals G1, G2, NE and G of engine control
module

Using SST (G1 and G2 pickups) and a thickness gauge
(NE pickup), measure the air gap between the signal ro-
tor and pickup coil projection.

DTC 13 G NE Signal Circuit (No.2)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
See G, NE signal circuit (No. 1) on page EG±409.
DTC No. Diagnostic Trouble Code Detecting Condition Trouble Area
13
No NE signal to ECM for 0.1 sec. or more at
1,000 rpm or more
Open or short in NE circuit

ECM
DIAGNOSIS
This code indicates that a intermittent problems of the G, NE signal from the distributor to the ECM has occurred,
but that it has returned to normal. Note that although this problem may not necessarily appear at the time of
inspection, it cannot be ignored because this diagnostic trouble code is output, indicating that there is or was
a malfunction in the G, NE signal circuit; this ºmalfunctionº is usually a loose connector.
The distributor connector and the NE terminal of the ECM connector must therefore be checked for the following:
1. Loose connectors
2. Dirty connector terminals
3. Loose connector terminals EG±412

DTC 14 Ignition Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM determines the ignition timing, turns on Tr1 at a predetermined angle (°CA) before the desired ignition
timing and outputs an ignition signal (IGT) º1º to the igniter.
Since the width of the IGT signal is constant, the dwell angle control circuit in the igniter determines the time
the control circuit starts primary current flow to the ignition coil based on the engine rpm and ignition timing one
revolution ago, that is, the time the Tr
2 turns on.
When it reaches the ignition timing, the ECM turns Tr
1 off and outputs the IGT signal ºOº.
This turns Tr
2 off, interrupting the primary current flow and generating a high voltage in the secondary coil which
causes the spark plug to spark. Also, by the counter electromotive force generated when the primary current
is interrupted, the igniter sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) to the ECM.
The ECM stops fuel injection as a fail safe function when the IGF signal is not input to the ECM.
DTC No. Diagnostic Trouble Code Detecting Condition Trouble Area

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
(See page IN±30).
(See page EG±404)
Check for spark.
Disconnect the high±tension cord from the distributor, hold its end about 12.5 mm (1/2º) from
the ground, see if spark occurs while the engine is being cranked.
Spark should be generated.
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors during this check. Don't crank the engine
for more than 1 Ð 2 seconds at a time.
Check for open and short in harness and connector in IGF signal circuit
between engine control module and igniter (see page IN±30).
Disconnect igniter connector and check voltage between terminal IGF
of engine control module connector and body ground.
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Replace igniter.
Check and replace engine control module.
(1) Disconnect igniter connector.
(2) Connect SST (check harness ªAº).
