Tune-Up - 6-CYL: Adjustments: Distributor

All models use the Motronic system. The ignition system is computer controlled by the Motronic system. The distributor has no spark timing function, other than to distribute spark to the proper spark plug. Therefore, no maintenance or adjustments to the distributor are necessary.
