Pick-Up Coil: Testing and Inspection

Checking Air Gap:

Inspect Air Gap
- Using a thickness gauge, measure the gap between the signal rotor and pickup coil projection.

Air gap: 0.2 - 0.4 mm (0.008 - 0.016 in.)

- If the air gap is not as specified, replace the distributor housing assembly.

Pick Up Coil Resistance:

Inspect Signal Generator (pickup Coil) Resistance
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals as follows:

Terminals Resistance (Cold)
G+ G- 185 - 275 ohms
NE+ NE- 370 - 550 ohms



- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the distributor housing assembly.
