ea-82 disty question

Featured Replies

Hi!! Thanks for reading this. I have a 91 Loyale EA-82 spfi 5 speed 2wd. i had my cam case off the other day and when I pulled the 4 wire plug off the disty I noticed that while it was color coded it had 2 of the wires reversed in the plugs. It has red, black, green and a whitish yellowish one. the green wire runs into the white and the white runs into the green. Is it supposed to be this way or is it supposed to go to the same color?

Yep it runs. It just looked strange to see the wires run like that so I figured I would ask someone smarter than I am lol. I saw it when I put the engine back together but I hadn't found this site then. When I pulled the cam case off it jogged my memory and I thought I should find out for sure. Only running issue it has is hesitation from launch to about 1600 rpm. Idles a little rough also.

Both classic symptoms of a vacuum leak. Spray around the manifold and hoses with carb cleaner - when you find a leak the engine speed will increase for a short time.
