Service Procedure

1. Raise the engine hood and inspect the ignition distributor ventilation holes, located in the base of the distributor, to see if the External Ignition Protection (EIP) screens are present.

2. If the EIP vent screens are present:

- Remove the vent EIP screens using the procedure listed in Step 3.

- Refer to the appropriate procedure in the Engine Controls sub-section of the applicable Service Manual and replace the distributor cap and rotor.





5. Remove the vent screens (1), located in the base of the distributor, by inserting a plastic-handled, long blade awl or pick (2) into each of the two airflow vent holes and popping out the screen. If there are no EIP vent screens in the airflow vent holes, check the vent holes for debris and clear as necessary before reassembling the distributor.

6. If the EIP vent screens are not present, the distributor cap and rotor do not require replacement.

7. Install the foam sleeve, P/N 15190971 around the section of the A/C accumulator line that is routed directly above the distributor. Cut a slit in the sleeve and secure it to the line using tie-straps. Do not install a new foam sleeve if a sleeve is already in place on the A/C accumulator line.
