Contactless ignition systems with distributor
1.5L, 1.8L, 2.4L and 3.5L engines
The key transistor is mounted in the ignition distributor, the description of the removal and installation procedures for which, see below (In chapter Removal and installation of the distributor of ignition (models with contactless ignition system)).
2.0 SOHC and 3.0 L SOHC engines
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Attention! If the stereo system installed in the car is equipped with a security code, before disconnecting the battery, make sure that you have the correct combination to activate the audio system!
2. Disconnect the electrical wiring from the key transistor assembly.
3. Turn out fixing screws and remove the transistor.
4. Installation is carried out in the reverse order.
