Ignition Rotor: Service and Repair

REMOVAL and INSTALLATION

1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.

NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the powertrain control module relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles or more to relearn the adaptive strategy.

2. Mark the distributor cap towers with the cylinder numbers to aid in installing the distributor to spark plug wires.

3. Disconnect the distributor to spark plug wires from the distributor cap by twisting and pulling the distributor to spark plug wire boots (not the distributor to spark plug wires) until the distributor to spark plug wires are free.
