Integrated Direct Ignition - Temporary Diagnosis & Exchange Program

"INTEGRATED DIRECT IGNITION" - TEMPORARY EXCHANGE PROGRAM


"INTEGRATED DIRECT IGNITION" DIAGNOSIS AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM

Until further notice "Integrated Direct Ignition" system exchange packages are being made available on a temporary basis during a special limited program for 1988 "N" series cars. These exchange packages are provided to replace Integrated Direct Ignition" systems that have been diagnosed as faulty using the attached, especially prepared, diagnostic charts. After the "IDI" is diagnosed as being the suspected cause of the driveability complaint, the technician must contact Product Service Engineering. A Service Engineer will then qualify the "IDI" as being faulty, authorize the exchange and immediately order a complete exchange assembly sent to the dealership. The faulty system and diagnostic feedback chart must then be returned to the Delta Engine Plant address in this Bulletin. This will permit quick identification of any potential problem areas that may appear on this new ignition system. Each package includes all the parts necessary for the exchange procedure along with a return label and special diagnostic feedback chart. The technician should be familiar with these instructions and the special diagnostic charts before attempting to diagnose any "IDI" related complaint. Prior to returning a faulty system, the technician is requested to:
1. Fill out the diagnostic feedback chart enclosed in the package.
2. DO NOT disassemble the ignition system. Use all parts in the package, and return the faulty, fully assembled, ignition system assembly.
3. Return the completed core tag with a copy of the work order and the completed diagnostic feedback chart. This special exchange program is to be utilized until further notice. When the program is over, the standard diagnostics in your service manuals should be used and the attached exchange diagnostic charts discarded. Your assistance and co-operation in conducting this special limited program is greatly appreciated.
