Inspection of EST Distributor
Description
The Delco EST ignition system consists of the
distributor, ignition coil, wiring and spark plugs. The
distributor contains a module, pickup coil and
conventional cap and rotor. There are no points or
condenser to adjust or change and no moving parts
except for the distributor shaft and rotor. Spark
advance and dwell are controlled by the distributor
module. The distributor module and pickup coil are
self-contained solid-state devices which are not
repairable. If necessary, they may be replaced
separately but must be serviced as a complete unit.
Delco Distributor Component Testing
NOTICE
In the test procedures that follow, check the ignition
coil and each component of the distributor
separately to identify defective or good components.
These tests can be made with the distributor and
coil mounted on the engine or on the repair bench.
Delco Distributor Module Testing
NOTICE
An approved module tester must be used in order to
check the module. Use a Kent-Moore Module Tester
or equivalent.
1.
Remove module from distributor.
2.
Connect red battery-cable clamp to positive
(+)terminal and black battery-cable clamp to
negative(-) terminal of a fully charged 12V battery.
3.
Connect the adapter to yellow 2-way terminal
connector, and the adapter to black 3-
wayconnector of the tester (IAGS054S).
4.
Connect black 4-way and 2-way connectors to
module terminals. Connect yellow 2-way
connector to yellow module terminals and engage
locking tabs.
5.
Connect module ground clip of the tester to the
metal base of the module.
6.
Hold the toggle switch in the 3-terminal test
position. If a momentary indication of the red "Fail"
light and then a steady indication of the green
"Pass" light occurs, go on to the next step. If a
steady indication of the red "Fail" light occurs, the
module is defective and should be replaced.
7.
Disconnect black 4-way connector from module.
Disconnect yellow 2-way connector, rotate it 180
degrees so the lock and tab are opposite each
other, and reconnect it to the module terminals
(IAGS058S).
8.
Hold the toggle switch in the 3-terminal test
position. A momentary indication of the red "Fail"
light and then a steady indication of the green
"Pass" light mean the module is good. A steady
indication of the red "Fail" light means the module
is defective and should be replaced.
