Preliminary Checks

LUCAS CONSTANT ENERGY IGNITION SYSTEM 3SDLM8 - PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Inspect battery cables and connections to ensure they are clean and tight. Check battery state of charge if in doubt as to its condition.

Inspect all L.T. connections to ensure that they are clean and tight. Check the H.T. leads are correctly positioned and not shorting to ground against any engine components. The wiring harness and individual cables should be firmly fastened to prevent chaffing.

Check the air gap between pick-up limb and reluctor teeth, using a non-ferrous gauge.

NOTE: The gap is set initially at the factory and will only require adjusting if tampered with or when the pick-up module is replaced.
