omega_rugal Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARareBreed Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 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..

HOrnbrod Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Does the 2.5 ltr. 4 banger have a distributor sensor in it ? or is it controlled with the ICM ? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
