Connection diagrams - Electronic Ignition (EI) system (distributor-less)


Note:
The following section applies to Hermann engine analyzers, tests and connections for Bear DACE engine analyzers are similar, please refer to instruction manual supplied with the EI (distributor-less) test adapters.
When diagnosing starting or warm up complaints, do not check engine at operating temperature, instead proceed according to specific complaint.

Air intake hose at intake air temperature sensor (IAT)
Spark plug covering (on top of valve cover)
Primary ignition side connections:
Unplug connector X26/24 from engine harness and install 2 - pole"piggyback"
connector from primary adapter cable (055/2) in between connector X26/24
and engine harness

Set to 4 cyl. (refer to following pages)
Set according to table (refer to following pages)

Note:
If the the oscilloscope pattern is upside-down (displays 2 ignition voltage lines at the bottom of the screen) or shows no pattern (with engine running), select a different firing order selection at switch D on the EI (distributor-less) adapter 055 (the base setting is 11; select 12, 13, etc. until correct pattern is displayed)

Connect D.C. inductive (pickup) clamp (065) to battery ground cable (model 170) or to ground strap between the transmission and chassis on left side of vehicle (models 202/210)
Exhaust vent hose (014)
