8D - 20 IGNITION SYSTEM
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)
DISTRIBUTOR CAP—2.5L
REMOVAL
(1) Remove bolt holding air inlet resonator to
intake manifold.
(2) Loosen clamps holding air cleaner cover to air
cleaner housing.
(3) Remove PCV make-up air hose from air inlet
tube.
(4) Loosen hose clamp at throttle body.
(5) Remove air inlet tube, resonator and air
cleaner cover.
(6) Remove EGR tube.
(7) Remove spark plug cables from distributor cap.
(8) Loosen distributor cap holddown screws and
remove cap (Fig. 48).
(9) Transfer cables from old cap to new cap. The
cap is numbered and so are the cables.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install distributor cap.
(2) Install distributor holddown washers and nuts.
Tighten nuts to 13 N·m (9 ft. lbs.).
(3) Install EGR tube.
(4) Install air inlet tube, resonator and air cleaner
cover.
(5) Tighten hose clamp at throttle body.
(6) Install PCV make-up air hose from air inlet
tube.
(7) Tighten clamps holding air cleaner cover to air
cleaner housing.
(8) Install bolt holding air inlet resonator to intake
manifold.
DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR—2.5L
REMOVAL
(1) Remove bolt holding air inlet resonator to
intake manifold.
(2) Loosen clamps holding air cleaner cover to air
cleaner housing.
(3) Remove PCV make-up air hose from air inlet
tube.
(4) Loosen hose clamp at throttle body.
(5) Remove air inlet tube, resonator and air
cleaner cover.
(6) Remove EGR tube.
(7) Remove spark plug cables from distributor cap.
(8) Loosen distributor cap holddown screws and
remove cap (Fig. 48).
(9) Mark the rotor position and remove rotor. The
mark indicates where to position the rotor when rein-
stalling the distributor.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install rotor on shaft.
(2) Install distributor cap.
(3) Install spark plug cables onto distributor cap.
The cap is numbered as well as the cables. Ensure
sure all high tension wires are firmly in the cap tow-
ers.
(4) Install EGR tube to intake manifold. Tighten
bolts to 11 N·m (95 in. lbs.) torque.
(5) Install air inlet tube, resonator and air cleaner
cover.
(6) Tighten hose clamp at throttle body.
(7) Install PCV make-up air hose to air inlet tube.
(8) Tighten clamps holding air cleaner cover to air
cleaner housing.
(9) Tighten bolt holding air inlet resonator to
intake manifold.
