Distributor Pick-Up Coil

  1. On V8 and 6 cylinder models only, turn ignition switch "OFF". Disconnect control unit connector. Connect ohmmeter leads to pin numbers "4" and "5" of harness connector. See Fig. 5.  Ohmmeter reading should be 150-900 ohms. If reading is not to specifications, make same check at distributor 2-wire connector. If reading is still not correct, pick-up coil is bad and needs to be replaced.
  2. Connect one ohmmeter lead to a good ground and the other lead to either connector of distributor. Ohmmeter should show an open circuit. If ohmmeter shows a reading, pick-up coil in distributor must be replaced.
  3. On 4 cylinder models use the same procedure but use pins "1" and "3" on module connector.
