Distributor https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...35e36462e.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...0c2b77a58.jpeg Found this when I pulled the intake for a gasket leak. 27k miles Is there a fix or do I get a new one |
Re: Distributor Just clean it up and regoop the ign module. Don't use carb cleaner near the pickupcoil, it'll turn it to a gooey mess. |
Re: Distributor Should I disassemble it? How should I remove the rust? What goop should I use? |
Re: Distributor Brush off the loose stuff and apply new thermal grease to the module. Otherwise just leave it alone. The bit that is rusty is the reluctor and the rust is not going to affect it's operation. They all look like that due to moisture and ozone that's created inside the cap. GD |
Re: Distributor Good news. The least expensive option. Thanks |
Re: Distributor Is this a good choice for thermal paste? Thanks for your time. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0087X72...v_ov_lig_dp_it |

Re: Distributor mine looked a lot like this, had endless connectivity issues and the pickup coil was stuffed in the end. They really arent that expensive considering how much work they do and how long they last. |
Re: Distributor If you are worried about the functionality of the Pickup coil then just test it. Pull the 2 prong connector from the pickup to the module. Stick a paperclip in each of it's female sockets and hook your multi-meter up to each paperclip. Set the multi-meter on AC voltage. Remove the rotor and hook up a 1/2" drill's chuck to where the rotor was. slowly begin to turn the drill and observe the multi-meter. The voltage should fluctuate evenly up and down because it's making a sinusoidal AC wave. Turn the drill faster and it should alternate faster. Oscilloscope is the best way to do this but multi-meter will work just as well. |
