Distributor Cap Resistor - Elimination

Applicable to: USA/CND
Subject:
ELIMINATION OF DISTRIBUTOR CAP RESISTOR - PART NO. PRC5086
Recent engineering tests have found that the distributor cap ignition resistor, part no. PRC5O86, is no longer required for radio static suppression. Coil
wires used on Range Rover and Defender are of the resistor type which eliminate the need for this additional resistance.
Vehicles delivered after VIN ... PA638357 will no longer have this resistor installed.
ACTION REQUESTED
At the next service opportunity on any vehicle 1990 model year or newer, remove and discard the distributor cap resistor. Reinstall the coil wire as
shown in the illustration and note the preferred routing from the cap to the coil. Make sure that the distributor cap end of the coil wire is aligned between
ignition wires 5 and 7.
In the unlikely event of a customer complaint of radio static after removal of the resistor, please contact the Technician Hotline for assistance.
