Starting System
Starter Test lcont'dl
Ch€ck tor Wear and Damage
The starter should crank the engine smoothly and
steadily, lf the starter engages. but cranks the engine
erratically, remove it, and inspect the starter drive gear
and torque converter or flywheel ring gear for damage.
. Check the drive gear overrunning clutch for binding
or slipping when the armature is rotated with the
drive gear held,- lf damaged. replace the gears.
Check Cranking Voltsge and Curr€nt Draw
Cranking voltage should be no less than 8.5 volts.
Current draw should be no more than 350 amperes.
lf cranking voltage is too low, or current draw too high,
check for;
. dead or low batterv.
. open circuit in starter armature commutator seg-
ments,
. starter armature dragging.
. shorted armature winding.
o excessive drag in engine.
Check Cranking rpm
Engine speed during cranking should be above 100 rpm,
lf speed is too low, check for:
. loose battery or stanerterminals.
. excessively worn starter brushes,
. open circuit in commutator segments.
o dirty or damaged helical spline or drive gear.
. defective drive gear overrunning clutch.
Check Siarter Disengag€ment
With the shift lever in El or @ position (A/T) or with the
clutch pedal depressed (M/T), turn the ignition switch to
START (lll), and release to ON (ll).
The starter drive gear should disengage from the torque
converter or flywheel ring gear when you release the
Key.
lf the drive gear hangs up on the torque converter or fly-
wheel ring gear, check for:
. solenoid plunger and switch malfunction,
. dirty drive gear assembly or damaged overrunning
clutch.
Starter Solenoid Test
1. Check the hold-in coil for continuitv between the S
terminal and the armature housing (ground). The
coil is OK if there is continuitv,

Check the pull-in coil for continuity between the S
and M terminals. The coil is OK if there is continuity.

JArmature Inspection and Test
1.Inspect the armature for wear or damage due to con-
tact with the permanent magnet or field winding.
. lf there is wear or damage. replace the armature.
Inspect for damage.
2. Check commutator surface and diameter.
. lf the surface is dirty or burnt. resurface with emery
cloth or a lathe within the following specifications,
or recondition with #500 or #600 sandpaper.
. lf commutator diameter is below the service limit,
replace the armature.

3. Measure the commutator runout.
. lf the commutator runout is within the service
limit, check the commutator for carbon dust or
brass chips betlveen the segments.
. lf the commutator runout is not within the ser-
vice limit, replace the armature.

-lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it it necessary (see
section 'l '1 ).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and BLK
wires) from the connector holder located under the
dash on the front passenger side, then connect the
SCS service connector (T/N 07PAZ - 0010'100) to it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm with
no load {A,/T in E or E. M/T in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. 1 ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights. blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.

Loosen the distributor mounting bolts. and turn the
distributor ignition (Dl) housing counterclockwise to
advance the timing, or clockwise to retard the tim-
ing.

lgnition Coil Test
Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the
terminals. lf the resistance is not within soecifications.
replace the ignition coil.
NOTE: Resistance will vary with the coil temperature;
specifications are at 68'F (20'C).

CAUTION: Carelully remove the ignition wires bypulling on the rubber boots, Do not bend the wires; you
might break them inside.
'1. Check the condition of the ignition wire terminals. lf
any terminal is corroded, clean it, and if it is broken
or distorted, replace the ignition wire.
Check for broken,corroded, and bentlermrnals.IGNITION WIRE
Connect ohmmeter probes and measure resistance.

1. Wrap aluminum foil around the tip of the tester
probe as shown.
Touch one tester orobe to the window antenna ter-
minal near, and move the other tester probe along
the antenna wires to check that continuity exists.

Window Antenna Wire Repair
NOTE: To make an effective repair, the broken section
must be no longer than one inch.
1. Lightly rub the area around the broken section with
fine steel wool, then clean it with alcohol.
2. Carefully mask above and below the broken portion
of the window antenna wire with cellophane tape.
CELLOPHANETAPE
Using a small brush, apply a heavy coat of silver
conductive paint extending about 1/8" on both
sides of the break, Allow 30 minutes to dry.
NOTE| Thoroughly mix the paint betore use.
Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let it
dry three hours before removing the tape.
