This one is lots of fun. Turn the engine by hand until it's on top dead center. Mark the plug wires so you can put them back in the original places. Also mark the location of the rotor on the dist. remove the dist. by taking the hold down bolt off. Pull it up. Remove the cap if you haven't yet. Drive the pin out at the bottom of the shaft with a small punch. Slide the shaft out of the housing. the stator can now be replaced. Put the shaft back in and the pin through the can drive gear. Put everything back EXACTLY as you took it off and it should crank and run like new.
Yes you do. You have to take the distributor shaft out of the distributor to Remove the pick-up coil / stator.
near the distributor cap
1)Rotate the engine until the No 1 piston is on Top Dead Center TDC of its compression stroke. The timing marks on the crank shaft and the pointer are aligned. 2)Disconnect the negative battery cable. Disconnect the wiring harness from the distributor. Mark the #1 spark plug tower on the cap for reference. 3)Remove the distributor cap. Matchmark the rotor position to the distributor housing. Scribe a mark in the distributor body and the engine block to indicate the position of thedistributor in the engine. 4)Remove the distributor hold-down bolt and clamp - Remove the distributor from the engine. Do not rotate engine while the distributor is removed. 5)Remove the two screws going through the plastic cover. Remove PIP unit, and replace with a new one. These are normally light tan in color - if it looks burnt - darkened it is probably defective. Or the Hall Effect vane stator switch assembly. 6)Before reinstalling the distributor - rotate the distributor shaft so the rotor points toward the mark on the distributor housing made previously. Rotate the rotor slightly so the leading edgeof the vane is centered in the vane switch state assembly. Rotate the distributor in the engine block to align the leading edge of the vane with the vane switch stator assembly. Make sure the rotoris pointing to the No 1 mark on the distributor base. If things don't line up raise the distributor just enough to disengage it from the gear and rotate it to engage another gear tooth. Note: some require removing the gear from the shaft to replace the PIP. Remove the drift pin from the gear - clean the shaft with emory cloth and then you can replace the ignition parts.
remove the distributer, remove the roll pin holding the drive gear onto the distributer shaft, remove the distributer drive gear, remove the shaft from the distributer to gain access to and remove the stator(pick-up coil). Replace the stator, and reassemble everything.
This could be due to a bad Hall effect sensor. On this car it is part of the pickup coil/stator. This can be found under the distributor cap and rotor, and is the piece that the wire goes into. The pickup coil senses the magnetic field as pieces of metal are rotated through the Hall effect sensor. This device controls the fuel delivery of the car after it has started and is generally a big culprit for a stalled Dodge Aries. To replace you will need to remove the distributor cap and rotor. The pickup coil will be under those and rather simple to replace. It costs about $25-$40.
I had a similar problem. My solution was to replace the distributor's stator - part of the breakerless ignition. My stator's plastic housing had cracked which caused an intermitant shorting of the ignition system.
The stator on an Evinrude outboard is located under the engine flywheel.
you probrably have a bad stator
i suggest you get hold of a workshop repair manual as this job requires taking the engine out - not a job for a beginner! Unfortunately this is necessary because with the engine in place the frame clearance is inadequate to allow you to remove the stator cover and kickshift pedal - bloody stupid design issue
check the pick up coil on the left side cover of the engine they have a stator and a little box that's the pickup coil check if its damage or the ignition coil
The stator used on an outboard engine, generates voltage to power the ignition system. In most applications, an additional coil, incorporated within the stator assembly, supplies voltage to the charging system as well.
If the resistor is alright why replace it.
