Ignition systems 5B.5<br />
Continue until the timing setting is correct,<br />
then tighten the distributor bolts to the<br />
specified torque.<br />
5.5b Ignition timing marks - G40 models<br />
to Section 4 and slacken the distributor<br />
retaining bolts. Note: Mark the relationship<br />
between the distributor body and the cylinder<br />
head with a dab of paint, before adjustment is<br />
attempted. This gives a reference point that<br />
can be reverted to if the timing setting is lost.<br />
7 Turn the distributor by a small amount<br />
clockwise to advance (or anti-clockwise to<br />
retard) the ignition timing. Tighten the bolts<br />
lightly and repeat the timing light test.<br />
Note: This sensor is fitted to the G40 model<br />
(engine code PY) only.<br />
Removal<br />
1 The knock sensor is located on the rear of<br />
the cylinder block, below the inlet manifold.<br />
2 Ensure the ignition is off, then unplug the<br />
wiring from the sensor at the connector.<br />
3 Slacken and withdraw the mounting bolt<br />
and lift off the sensor.<br />
Refitting<br />
4 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but note<br />
that the sensor’s operation will be affected if<br />
its mounting bolt is not tightened to the<br />
correct torque.<br />
Removal<br />
1 With reference to Section 4, remove the<br />
distributor cap and its screening shield (where<br />
applicable).<br />
2 Pull the rotor arm from the end of the<br />
distributor shaft (refer to illustration 4.7a).<br />
3 Inspect the distributor shaft contacts and<br />
clean them if necessary, using contact<br />
cleaning solution - do not use abrasive paper<br />
or a wire brush as this will accelerate contact<br />
wear.<br />
Refitting<br />
4 Refitting is a reversal of removal - ensure<br />
that the rotor arm alignment lug engages with<br />
the recess in the distributor shaft, before<br />
refitting the distributor cap.
