Take off the cap via screws (like mine has) and remove the two (sometimes three) screws holding on the seal plate. then unscrew the (protection shield) bearing cover and carefully remove the bearings, put them in a safe place.

Just below the platform that you secure the distributor cap on, there should one lug-bolt and a philip head screw holding it on (use a magnetic long-reach screwdriver and socket wrench).

Disconnect the two connectors that run thru the wiring harness and split off to the distributor. remove the motor and distributor and replace as necessary. then tighten everything back down, re-connect power and control to the motor (you may need to transfer the connector from the old motor to make it work) then re-connect the coil lead and spark plug wires. test it for spark and give it a test crank to see if it turns over and starts up. if it doesn't, check the connections and try again.

i hope this helped you with your delema. good luck! ^.^

SOURCE: 1993 Nissan pickup, replacing starter

I have a '95. It's behind the passenger side tire. Remove tire and rock guard if you have one--couple of screws--and you can easily access it. two bolts facing rear of car, two connections up front. Honestly it was the easiest replacement I've ever done. Just disconnect your battery first.

SOURCE: I have a 1986 Nissan Pickup D21 that bogs down

your carberator is gummed up. Go to the auto parts store and get a can of seafoam fuel additive. Read the label so you get enough but as I recall you put in one ounce per gallon of gas. Run that through your pickup for a few miles and it will purr again.

SOURCE: where is fuel-filter on 2.4L D21 Nissan pickup?

it should be under the car close to the driver side door. if you can't see it trace it from the fuel tank it should be attached to the fuel line. if you have the repolacement in your hand you will know what you're looking for

1993 gmc pick up 1500 fuel pump works but nouthing at the injections and no spark at the plugs

Is there a tach place on the distributor cap? If so, use a test light on that terminal, engine cranking, see if the lite pulses? A pink wire should carry voltage to coil or distributor cap. It goes got with the key on? Use a test lite and check for voltage. A couple of possibilities, check the ignition module and pickup coil in distributor. Does the distributor rotor turn when you crank it? With gm bypass ignition, it's the ignition module that controls spark during cranking rpms, not the computer.
There is an oil pressure switch in the fuel pump circuit, so once you crank it enough to bring up oil pressure and that switch closes, the fuel pump will run even w/o a rpm signal, but, for other components, the rpm signal is important.
The ignition module gets signal from pickup coil, engine cranking, then ignition module sends rpm signal to computer on purple wire with white tracer. If no signal, the computer won't ground the fuel injectors, among other issues.

If there is no spark to the plugs, you may have inadvertently blown a fuse for the ignition system when changing other parts. Check the fuses in the box under the dash or under the bonnet. Also have a look and make sure the little carbon brush pickup hasn't fallen out of the distributor cap. Its the little black thing in the middle inside of the cap. It is spring loaded and sometimes can fall out.

1997 mercury villager i have spark and fuel,changed wires,cap,rotor,and plugs.the car ran good yesterday,moved it and went to go somewhere last nite and turns over but dosent start.

could be distributor. remove cap and rotor and slotted wheel. look for brown dust covering optical sensor from bad bearing. If yes, replace distributor. It triggers spark and fuel injection.

Car just stopped running. Lost power suddenly.

Find an inductive pickup indicator for spark. Place on distributor cap to see if spark is at coil internal tower. If no spark at internal tower, look at ignition module or pickup coil. Ignition modules are prone to failure on 626's. But if you have spark at tower but not at the wire end, then your rotor is gone.
