Removing
1. Disconnect the battery from the ground.
2. Disconnect connectors from distributor.
3. Find the label of the high-voltage output of the 1st cylinder on the distributor cap. If there is no mark on the cover, then find the corresponding output along the wire from the 1st cylinder.
4. Remove the distributor cap and, turning the crankshaft, set the slider opposite the high-voltage output of the 1st cylinder.
5. Make a mark on the bottom edge of the distributor housing, directly below the slider pointer. Also make marks on the distributor body and on the cylinder head to ensure that the distributor is correctly installed during assembly.
6. If the design provides for fastening the distributor with two bolts with shoulders, then loosen these bolts, but do not completely unscrew them.
7. Loosen the distributor bolt (shown by arrow), then feed the distributor in a horizontal direction and remove it. Turning the crankshaft after removing the distributor from the engine is not allowed.
Installation
Attention! If the crankshaft still turned after removing the distributor, then set the piston of the 1st cylinder to the TDC of the compression stroke and orient the slider and the distributor housing.
1. Replace the O-ring on the distributor shank.
2. When installing the distributor, the notch (1) should face up.
Attention! On cars since 1993, during installation, the groove in the distributor housing and the protrusion on the drive gear are combined.
3. Insert the distributor into the engine, accurately orienting the body according to the marked marks.
4. If the distributor is not installed in place, then once again check the marks made on the base of the distributor housing and on the engine before disassembly. Install the distributor exactly according to these marks. Also check the orientation of the slider, the mark on the slider must match the mark on the base of the housing made before disassembly.
5. Tighten the distributor mounting bolt.
6. Further installation is carried out in the reverse order.
7. Check the setting of the ignition timing, tighten the distributor mounting bolt.
