Checking and replacing the ignition switch
Note: If your distributor looks like the one shown in Fig. 8.7a, it is a TOYO DENSO distributor. Otherwise, it is a HITACHI distributor. 1. Remove the distributor cap ( see Chapter 1 ). 2. Remove the breaker wires (see...

Radio interference suppression capacitor — inspection and replacement
Note: A non-working capacitor can cause the engine to shut down, so information about it is included in this chapter. 1. Measure the capacitance of the capacitor and compare it with the specification data. 2. If you do...

Ignition distributor — removal and installation
Removal 1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Disconnect the regulator vacuum hose. 3. Disconnect the low voltage wires from the coil. 4. Determine the position of the mark "1" on the cover,...

Magnetic Resistance Gap (1984-1987 Models Only) — Checking and Adjusting
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Remove the distributor cap and rotor ( see Chapter 1 ). 3. Using non-magnetic feeler gauges, check that the air gap between the stator and the magnetic resistance is...

Magnetic Resistance (1984-1987) — Replacement
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Remove the distributor cap. 3. Remove the magnetic resistance by prying it off with a pair of suitable screwdrivers. Be careful: too much force can damage the...

Vacuum ignition timing regulator — inspection and replacement
Control 1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Remove the distributor cap. 3. Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the vacuum regulator diaphragm. Connect the vacuum pump to the diaphragm nipple (if there are...

Centrifugal ignition timing controller — control
1. Disconnect the vacuum advance regulator hoses and plug them. 2. Connect the stoboscope according to the manufacturer's instructions. 3. Start the engine and increase the speed to 2500 rpm. The "T" marking should be...

Charging system — general information
The charging system includes a generator, voltage regulator, charge indicator, battery, fuses and wires. The generator is driven by a belt from the engine shaft. The engine wiring includes short pieces of calibrated...

Charging system — control
1. System check procedure: a) check the belt tension and its condition ( see Chapter 1 ) replace the belt if necessary; b) check the tightening of the generator adjusting and mounting bolts; c) check the condition of...

Generator — removal and installation
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Mark and disconnect the wires from the generator. 3. Loosen the adjusting bolt and axle bolt nut, remove the belt. Fig. 17.3 Typical generator mounting 4. Remove the...

Voltage Regulator and Generator Brushes — Replacement
1. Remove the generator ( see Section 17 ). 2. Unscrew the three nuts securing the back cover, the nut and the electrical contact insulator and remove the back cover. Fig. 18.2 Generator assembly 1 - contact; 2 - back...

Starting system — general information
The purpose of the system is to rotate the engine crankshaft at a frequency sufficient for starting. The starting system consists of a battery, starter, starter relay and wires. The starter relay is attached directly to...

Starter — control on the car
Note: Before diagnosing the starter, make sure the battery is fully charged. 1. If the starter does not turn when the key is turned to the third position, make sure the gear shift lever is in neutral. 2. Check the...

Starter — removal and installation
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Mark and disconnect the wires from the starter. 3. Loosen the bolts and remove the starter.

Starter Solenoid — Removal and Installation
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Remove the starter ( see Section 21 ). 3. Disconnect the thick wire from the solenoid. 4. Loosen the solenoid mounting bolts and remove it. 5. With the solenoid...
