There's not even a test method or removal method in the fsm. I think there's two photoelectic sensors in the dizzy housing. There's a coarse slotted wheel and a fine slotted wheel, one being the tdc sensor and the other the crank angle sensor. There's not a lot to go wrong with them, sinde the light source is an led and the sensor is a photocell, so I'd recheck the connector in the bottom of the dizzy for corrosion, and check the dizzy guts for dirt on the led/photocell.

The icm you put on is just an electronic switch, a power transistor, the black box on the coil bracket, that turns on and off the coil connection from coil- to ground to trigger the spark. Sounds like time for a junkyard distributor.


Thanks. I ordered a rebuilt ecu this morning so fingers crossed that will solve it.

Thanks, I've been here before, some of you might remember me, I moved and got a new computer and could not recover my user info, got no help from wire when I emailed.


Who or which address did you email? I don't recall seeing a message from you but I will say my memory's not perfect. Nice rig BTW.

Looking back I think my mistake was emailing the main wire page.
Message to editor@4x4wire.com sent on march 9th. Never got a response.

Been a long time, I just got a pm about this so I better update with final findings;

Ordered distributor Hitest reman, it gave me a bucking problem, so I sent it back and got a Cardone 'new'. It solved all problems. So after all that it was the crank angle sensor and pulling a code would have given me the answer. Oh well, now every electrical part is new so there shouldn't be any more trouble..... until the next thing goes bad <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
