Ts not vtech.. Its a stock 1.5L motor. Manual transi

 

Aftermarket replacement distributor?

Is there battery voltage at the Blk/Yel wire attached to the coil and ignite unit?

CEL codes?

 

what does the cel codes stand for? do i hook up and obd1 scanner to it?

 

and the distributor is brand new. and yes there is battery voltage at the coil and ignite unite

 

Click on the CEL sticky at the top.

 

This^ does not rule out the distributor. ^Aftermarket?

You might want to resistance test the coil and test the Yel/Grn wire that runs from the ICM to the ECU for a short or open.

 

the numbers on top of the distributor are dst17427 and below that it says bk10e4. its definitely not the original one that came with the car.

 

how do i find the jumper plug to check the codes? the directions on that site dont help. i pulled the carpet back and found the ecu but dont see said jumper plug anywhere..

 

ok i found the jumper plug. did the test. came back with 4 longs.. but there is no code 40.. im straight lost now.

 

just reset the ecu and tryed to start and got nothing. tryed the jumper code again and it came up with a solid light on, no flashing whatsoever. any other options to figure out whats wrong before i go spend money on a new distributor.. would suck if that wasnt the problem.

 

ok so its now working! my buddy brought over an old distributor and switched out the insides. and now my car starts.. altho the alternator belt is ate to **** and about to break.. so looks like ill be getting that belt and replacing it.. anyone know of how to do that, or a website with directions showing how to do it???

 

It's hard get the tension right on the alternator belt because you have to hold the alternator back to tension the belt while you are tightening the alternator bolts.

You should probably purchase a manual that can give you directions with pictures.
