Distributor Indexing

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:

Vehicles may exhibit surging, light bucking, or intermittent engine misfiring. This will most likely occur when the vehicle is at operating temperature, and under a light load at approximately 2000 RPM. This condition may be caused by a mis-indexed distributor. The following procedure is an alternative to the indexing procedure outlined in the service manual.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:

This procedure outlines an alternative distributor indexing procedure.

Connect a voltmeter to the distributor sensor connector by removing the end seal and carefully back probing the connector. Connect the positive lead to the sensor output pin (pin 3, either a tan wire with a yellow tracer or a gray wire, depending on vehicle application). Connect the negative lead to the sensor ground pin (pin 2, a black wire with a light blue tracer).

Rotate the engine clockwise as viewed from the front, until the number one piston is at Top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke. The timing mark on the vibration damper should line up with the zero degree

(TDC) mark on the timing chain case cover.

Continue to rotate the engine slowly clockwise until the V6 or V8 mark (depending on engine type) lines up with the zero degree (TDC) mark on the timing chain case cover. The V8 mark is 17.5°after TDC and the V6 mark is 147°after TDC. NOTE: DO NOT ROTATE THE ENGINE COUNTER CLOCKWISE. IF THE ENGINE IS ROTATED BEYOND THE MARK, RETURN TO STEP 2 AND REPEAT THE PROCEDURE.

Loosen the distributor clamp bolt.

With the ignition switch in the ON position, rotate the distributor slightly in either direction until the voltmeter switches between the sensor transition point of 0 and 5 volts.

Adjust the distributor as close as possible to either side of this transition point and tighten the distributor clamp bolt to 19-26 N-m (170-230 in.lbs.) .

No need for all that

take the cap off, now rotate the motor clockwise
only do not turn back when doing this.

Get it dead on TDC mark on vibration damper
compresion stroke rotor aimed at #1 plug wire

Push lightly counterclockwise on the rotor just
to take any play out.

Now look straight down over the top with a good
light, on the plate in the dist there is a line
that is marked cyl.

center the rotor button over this line is 0

turning the dist counrerclockwise will advance
this signale the injectors use to know when to
fire.

The very edge of the rotor button, not center
lined with the cyl line will be aprox +3 that
is where you want to be with the mods you have.

The dist bolt is 1/2 and a pain to get 2, a very
short box wrench, a dist wrench or an extension
with a flex socket needed.

Thats all there is to it

it takes a few drive cycles to readjust so you
will probably notice it running a little better
the next few times you drive it.

Was it set on the minis side.
