Run Circuit

  1. Remove ignition coil wire from distributor cap, and install spark tester on wire. Turn ignition switch from "RUN" to "OFF" position. Spark should occur at tester gap each time switch goes from "RUN" to "OFF" position. If no sparks occurred, proceed to CONTROL MODULE VOLTAGE  test.
  2. If spark occurs, check distributor cap, adapter, and rotor for damage or wear. Check for roll pin retaining reluctor to sleeve in distributor shaft. Verify Orange and Purple wires are not crossed between distributor and control module.
