Electronic Ignition Wiring

[rob83ke70]

hey

not quite a corolla, but pretty close, i've got a 4y toyota engine with a points ignition in it, and i've got a electronic ignition system out of a hilux, and talk about wires everywhere!!!

 

i've got the distributor which has the coil inside it, which has a two wire plug coming out of it, and another two wires going to the igniter module (it says this on the box) now the igniter module has 9 wires all up going in/out of it, including the two that connect to the distributor. i've also got another box which appears to be an igniter module with three wires coming out of it...

 

now i thought that signal from distributor goes to ignition module, then switching goes to coil, coil fires spark.... where does an igniter fit into this??

all you need is to connect a + (from the ignition) and _ to the distributor and that's it, everything else is done by the distributor on the inside, including the igniter.

just set the timing and away you go.

not quite sure i understand. I have three items sitting here, a distributor/coil assembly, a box that has 9 wires going in/out of it, two of which are hooked to the signal part of the distributor, one of which is a case earth, and another box that has three wires going into/out of it, with nothing intelligible written on it...

 

i need positive power to the coil when ignition switch is on/start position, and i need switching earth to the negative side of the coil from the ignition module, and a pulse signal going into the ignition module. the rest of the wires i have no idea at all...

4y electronic distributor has either 2 or 3 wires coming out of it, the coil and igniter are built-in to the distributor.

you shouldn't need anything else, a Y series electronic distributor doesn't have any other external parts.

did you remove this from the Hilux yourself or is this what someone has given you?

pics would be a great help.

Someone gave me these bits. I've never had a chance to play around with more than one Y series engine. Pics are attached. the cable joining the igniter and the distributor has two wires in it. seven other wires come out of the igniter. the other pieces i have no idea what it is...

that looks like 4y Tarago injected Dizzy.

I'll look to see if i have a wiring diagram.

yip, it's a 4Y-E injected dizzy, to get that to work you'll need a computer.

 

here's the wiring for it.

bummer.... I suppose the easiest option then would be to buy another one out of a carburetted hilux?

 

I kind of like the idea of injecting the 4y but I'm not sure its feasible due to time constraints and/or money constraints... Its a LPG/Petrol dual fuel engine in a toyota dyna yh81r..... what a thing to work on!!!

if you were in Brisbane i have a spare dizzy sitting here, bought it for the Townace, but the Townace has never given a problem.

there worth good money the injected dizzy, could be worth selling it on.

they are hard to find.
