Ignition System Circuit

  1. Check for poor connections at distributor connector. Repair as necessary. If connections are okay, go to next step.
  2. Test ignition coil. See IGNITION COIL under IGNITION CHECKS in appropriate BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article. Replace as necessary. If ignition coil is okay, go to next step.
  3. Test ignition coil power transistor. See IGNITION COIL POWER TRANSISTOR in appropriate BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article. Replace as necessary. If ignition coil power transistor is okay, go to next step.
  4. Disconnect distributor connector. Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, measure voltage between ground and distributor connector terminal No. 1 (Black/White wire). See Figure . If battery voltage is indicated, go to next step. If battery voltage is not indicated, repair battery supply circuit between junction block and distributor.
  5. Using DVOM, measure resistance between ground and distributor connector terminal No. 4 (Black wire). If resistance is 2 ohms or less, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 2 ohms, repair open in Black wire between distributor and ground.
  6. Turn ignition off. Check ECM connectors C-111 and C-118 (M/T) or PCM connectors C-112 and C-115 (A/T) for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. If faulty connections are found, repair connector. After repairs, recheck system operation. If connections are okay, go to next step.
  7. Check for open in Black/Blue wire between distributor connector terminal No. 3, and ECM connector C-111 terminal No. 11 or PCM connector C-112 terminal No. 11. See Figure or Figure . Repair as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
  8. Check for open in White wire between distributor connector terminal No. 2, and ECM connector C-118 terminal No. 45 or PCM connector C-115 terminal No. 43. Repair as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
