distributor sensor

[Double Six]

Does the 2.5 ltr. 4 banger have a distributor sensor in it ? or is it controlled with the ICM ?

I can tell you that my '88 does not.

now that we are on the subject, do anyone have some sort of manual for the older carburated 4 bangers? been searching the internet but only the manual for the 4.0 pops up...

I know my 4.0 distributor has a sensor. Its called the pickup coil or stator. It caused my engine to die without notice and wouldn't fire up. Similar to a crank position sensor failure. I changed it out without replacing the entire distributor and haven't skipped a beat since. Learned a lot through the whole process, especially learning how to completely disassemble a distributor and how to find top dead center.

 

I recommend finding an exploded view of a 4 banger distributor for your year and checking if there is a stator in it. Otherwise just go look if there are electrical wires coming out of it..

According to the 86 factory parts manual the 2.5 carbed model distributor has a sync sensor (p/n 83500409) and the 2.5 TBI model does not.
