Get an Easy Out (left-handed) reverse drill bit that is smaller than the shaft of the broken screw. Run your drill counter-clockwise at a low rpm, while keeping the bit centered on the broken end of the screw. You might want to drill a smaller pilot hole with a normal drill bit first. At some point after cutting and weakening the inside of the broken-off screw end, the left-handed drill bit will catch on the metal and twist it out. I think there are videos of how this is done online. Getting the bits can be expensive, but they're invaluable for something like this.

Where is the ignition module located at in a 1994 Mitsubishi gallant?

The Ignition Module on this vehicle is located inside the distributor car. There are 2 sets of wires that plug into the distributor. The large wire connector is your ignition module. In order to remove the old one you must. . Unscrew and remove the distributor cap. Pull of the Rotor button in the center of the distributor. Remove the two screws on each side that holds in the plastic gasket that goes around the inside edge of the distributor. Once that is off.. there are 2 more screws that have to be removed that holds on the black distributor shield. Remove the Center screw that was underneath the rotor button. (Be sure not to strip that screw). Once the screw is out.. remove the contents but make sure to remember how it goes back together. Once the contents are removed.. there will be a very small screw that holds down a small metal contacter. Remove that screw.. slightly bend the contactor and remove the igniition module. Its alot simpler than it sounds. Good Luck!


Where is the ignitor module in the distributor of a 93 Mazda 626 4-cylinder?

It is inside the ignition distributor. You have to remove the distributor cap first. Then remove a rotor that carries a metal contact by unscrewing a screw from the rotor. The ignition module is below the rotor. You need to remove 2 screws to remove a cover for the ignition module. The two screws are extremely tight and cannot be removed using a normal screw driver. You probably have to use an impact type of electric drill with reversable (counter clock direction) speeds. I still have been able to remove the two screws myself.

How do you replace top dead center sensor on 1997 Honda crv?

It is in the distributor housing. You will have remove the distributor cap held on by 3 phillips screws. You can take off the distributor wires but it probably is not necessary. If you do be sure to mark where they go before you reconnect them. You can remove the air filter cap to give you a little more room to work. Next you will have to remove the side screw that holds the distributor coil in. Disconnect all the wires to the coil then pull it out. The TDC sensor should be inside the distributor housing and will have some wires leading to a harness attached to it.

How do you change ignition module on 90 Honda?

Most are inside the distributor for Hondas. Remove dist. cap, the first thing you will see is the rotor. Remove it. Accord ones usually pull of. Civics, integras, crvs usually have a screw holding it on. Rotate the engine until you see the screw. remove with #2 Phillips head screwdriver The ignition module is the piece with the 4 connectors. Disconnect them and remove the 2 Phillips head screws holding it. Then pull it out. It may be easier to remove the distributor to do the whole job depending on which Honda you have. If you remove the distributor, don't forget to put a mark on the housing where it meets the head to index it. You will want to put it back in the same position to keep ignition timing correct. Distributor comes off with three 12 mm bolts. When reinstalling distributor, the shaft that goes into the cam is slotted to only fit one way, so don't force it if it's 180 degrees out.
