(9) Mark the rotor position and remove rotor. The
mark indicates where to position the rotor when rein-
stalling the distributor.
(10) Remove 2 harness connectors from distributor
(Fig. 49).
(11) Remove 2 sets of distributor holddown nuts
and washers from studs.
(12) Remove bolt and spark plug cable mounting
bracket from top of distributor housing.
(13) Remove bolt and transmission dipstick tube.
(14) Carefully remove distributor from engine.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install rotor on shaft.
(2) Position distributor in engine. Make certain
that O-ring is properly seated on distributor. If
O-ring is cracked or nicked replace with a new one.
(3) Carefully engage distributor drive with slotted
end of camshaft. When the distributor is installed
properly, the rotor will be in line with previously
scribe line on air intake plenum. If engine was
cranked while distributor was removed, estab-
lish proper relationship between the distribu-
tor shaft and Number 1 piston position as
follows:
(a) Rotate the crankshaft until number one pis-
ton is at top of compression stroke.
(b)
Rotate rotor to number one rotor terminal.
(c) Lower distributor into opening, engaging dis-
tributor drive with drive on camshaft. With distrib-
utor fully seated on engine, rotor should be under
the number 1 terminal.
(4) Install distributor holddown washers and nuts.
Tighten nuts to 13 N·m (9 ft. lbs.).
(5) Install spark plug cable bracket.
(6) Install 2 harness connectors to distributor.
(7) Install distributor cap.
(8) 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.
(9) Install transmission dispstick tube.
(10) Install EGR tube to intake manifold. Tighten
bolts to 11 N·m (95 in. lbs.) torque.
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.
