1. With the ignition switch OFF, remove the distribu-
tor ignition (Dl) cap, rotor, and cap seal, then remove
the leak cover.
Remove the two screws to disconnect the BLK/YEL

lgnition Control Module (lCM) Input Test
NOTE:
a See section 1 1 if the malfunction indicator lamp (MlLl
has been reported on.a Perform an input test for the ignition control module(lCM) after finishing the fundamental tests for the ig-nition system and the fuel and emissions systems.a The tachometer should operate normally.
1. Remove the distributo. ignition (Dl) cap, the rotor,and the leak cover.
2. Disconnect the BLK/YEL, WHT/BLU, YEL/GRN, andBLU wires from the lCM.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON {ll}. Check for voltage
between the BLK/YEL wire and body ground.
There should be battery voltage.
a lf there is no battery voltage, check the BLKiYEL
wire between the ignition switch and the lCM.a It there is battery voltage, go to step 4,

4. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Check for voltage
between the WHT/BLU wire and body ground.
There should be battery voltage.
a lf there is no battery voltage, check:- ignition coil.- WHT/BLU wire between the ignition coil and
tcM.
a lf there is battery voltage, go to step 5.
5. Disconnect the 32P connector from the ECM, and
check for continuity on the YEUGRN wire between
the ICM and ECM.
There should be continuity.
6. Check for continuity on the YEL/GRN wire to bodygrouno.
There should be no continuity.
7.Reconnect the ECM 32P connector.
Disconnect the gauge assembly 13P connector,
TCM 26P connector, and cruise control l4P connector.
9. Check for continuity on the BLU wire between the
ICM and tachometer.
There should be continuity.
'10. Check for continuity on the BLU wire to body ground.
There should be no continuity.
1 1 . lf all the tests are normal, reconnect the connectors,
and replace the lCM.

1. Inspect the electrodes and ceramic insulator for:
Spark Plug lnspection
. lmproper gap. Oil-fouling. Carbon deposits. Cracked centerelectrode insulatorDamagedgaskei
Burned or worn electrodes may be caused by:
. Advanced ignition timing. Loose spark plug
. Plug heat range too low. Insufficient cooling
Fouled plugs may be caused bY:. Retarded ignition liming. Oil in combustion chamber. Incorrect spark plug gap
. Plug heat range too high. Excessive rdling'low speed running
. Clogged air cleaner element. Deteriorated ignition coil or ignition wires
81881, 818C5 engine:
. Adjust the gap wjth a suitable gapping tool, and
replace the plug if the center electrode is rounded
as shown below.
Electrode Gap:

Apply a small quantity ot anti-seize compound to the
plug threads belore installing the plugs.
Screw the plugs into the cylinder head tinger tight,
then torque them to 18 N.m (1 .8 kgf.m, 13lbf.ft).

CAUTION: Do not remove the pulley unless the tront
bearing needs replacement.
To loosen the pulley locknut, use 10 mm and 22 mm
wrenches. lf necessary, use an impact wrench.

Separate the rear housing from the stator/rectifier
assembly by removing the four screws and the ter-
minal nut from the rear housing (see page 23-111).
Measure the length of the brushes with vernier
