EZL Ignition System
Removal
Unscrewing the distributor cap mounting screws
Removal the distributor cap
Removal the distributor rotor from the drive flange
Unscrewing the central bolt securing the drive flange to the end of the camshaft
Removal the plastic protective cover and sealing ring
1. The ignition distributor is installed at the end of the cylinder head.
2. Release the clips and remove the plastic distributor cover.
3. Mark and disconnect the high-voltage wires from the distributor cap.
4. Unscrew the screws and remove the distributor cap (see fig. Unscrewing the distributor cap fastening screws, Removing the distributor cap).
5. Remove the screws and remove the distributor rotor from the drive flange (see Fig. Removing the distributor rotor from the drive flange).
6. Unscrew the central mounting bolt and remove the drive flange from the end of the camshaft (see fig. Unscrewing the central bolt securing the drive flange to the end of the camshaft).
7. Remove the plastic protective cover and sealing ring (see Fig. Removing the plastic protective cover and sealing ring). Replace the sealing ring if necessary.
Installation
1. Install the sealing ring and plastic protective cover onto the cylinder head.
2. Install the drive flange of the ignition distributor rotor onto the end of the camshaft. The groove of the drive flange must align with the camshaft mounting pin. Secure the drive flange with the central bolt, tightening it to the required torque.
3. Install the distributor rotor onto the drive flange and secure with screws, tightening them to the required torque.
4. Being careful not to damage the central carbon contact, install the distributor cap and secure with screws, tightening them to the specified torque.
5. Connect the high-voltage wires to the distributor cap in accordance with the previously applied markings. Since the ignition system is controlled by the crankshaft angle sensor, there is no need to set the ignition timing after removing the distributor.
Models with HFM engine management system
The HFM engine management system does not have an ignition distributor, as the high voltage from the ignition coils is supplied directly to the spark plugs.
