II - OPERATING DEFECTS

If the diagnostic installation does not provide a reading in the “timing test” position, ensure that :

  • the pick-up gap is correct (1.7 mm),
  • that the coil resistance is between 40 and 60 Ω by connecting an ohmmeter across terminals (1) and (4) on the diagnostic socket.

III - ADJUSTING THE TDC PICK-UP

New pick-up :

  • Bring the 3 locating studs into contact.

Used pick-up :

  • Cut the 3 locating studs off flush.
  • Bring the pick-up (1) against the flywheel (3).
  • Measure the amount by which the pick-up projects out from support (2).
  • Move the pick-up to obtain a clearance of 1.7 mm between the flywheel (3) and the pick-up (1).
