Distributors & Ignition Systems - DUCELLIER Electronic Ignition: Testing: Notes
NOTE:
Before testing components, be sure battery is properly charged, all wires are sound and connections are secure. Inspect distributor cap and rotor for cracks or carbon-tracking. Turn ignition "OFF" when connecting test equipment or when replacing parts.
CAUTION:
Before replacing "defective" parts such as the ignition coil, distributor or electronic control unit, check that the electrical system is operative. Particularly check the oil thermoswitch on the right-hand side of the oil pan and the relay which it controls. Also check all wiring and connectors.
