Removal
The ignition unit is located on the left wing of the engine compartment.
Remove the negative terminal from the battery.
Disconnect the vacuum hose from the block (see Fig. 5B.5).
Depending on the type, press the locking tab or unscrew the fastening screw and disconnect the electrical connector from the unit (see Fig. 5B.6).
Unscrew the mounting screws and remove the unit from the engine compartment.
Installation
Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal. When installing the ignition unit on a CVH engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters with power steering, air conditioning and an automatic transmission, do the following. After installing a new unit, clear its memory and reprogram it.
Turn off the ignition and disconnect the throttle position sensor connector on the carburetor.
Using a short extension wire, connect the signal clamp and the ground clamp to the 8 connector (see Fig. 5B.7).
Disconnect the ignition module service connector, which is a small connector similar to the throttle position sensor, but is connected to the main wiring harness by three wires. The connector is located either near the ignition module or on the bulkhead of the engine compartment near the carburetor (see Fig. 5B.8).
If the connector has a wire connected to the center clamp (5), disconnect the wire. Turn on the ignition, but do not start the engine.
Using an additional wire, connect the connector pin (5) to ground for about 5 seconds. Turn off the ignition and remove the additional wire connecting the connector pin (5) to ground. Remove the additional wire shorting the throttle position sensor connector and reconnect the connector. Start the engine.
Turn off the ignition and if terminal (5) of the ignition unit service connector had a wire connected to this terminal, reconnect the wire.
