1E – 4 ENGINE ELECTRICAL
3. In both vehicles, apply the parking brake firmly.
Notice: Make sure the cables are not on or near pulleys,
fans, or other parts that will move when the engine
starts, damaging the parts.
4. Shift a manual transaxle to NEUTRAL.
Caution: Do not use cables that have loose or miss-
ing insulation, or injury could result.
5. Clamp one end of the first jumper cable to the positive
terminal on the battery. Make sure it does not touch
any other metal parts. Clamp the other end of the
same cable to the positive terminal on the other bat-
tery. Never connect the other end to the negative ter-
minal of the discharged battery.
Caution: Do not attach the cable directly to the neg-
ative terminal of the discharged battery. Doing so
could cause sparks and possible battery explosion.
6. Clamp one end of the second cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery. Make the final con-
nection to a solid engine ground, such as the engine
lift bracket, at least 450 millimeters (18 inches) from
the discharged battery.
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery.
Run the engine at a moderate speed for several min-
utes. Then start the engine of the vehicle which has
the discharged battery.
8. Remove the jumper cables by reversing the above
sequence exactly. Remove the negative cable from
the vehicle with the discharged battery first. While re-
moving each clamp, take care that it does not touch
any other metal while the other end remains at-
tached

GENERATOR
The Delco-Remy CS charging system has several mod-
els available, including the
∅
114D (A-type) or CS114D
(B-type). The number denotes the outer diameter in
millimeters of the stator lamination.
CS generators are equipped with internal regulators.
The Y connection (A-type) or Delta (B-type) stator, a
rectifier bridge, and a rotor with slip rings and brushes
are electrically similar to earlier generators. A conven-
tional pulley and fan are used. There is no test hole.
Unlike three-wire generators, the
∅
114D (A-type) or
CS114D (B-type) may be used with only two connec-
tions: battery positive and an ‘‘L’’ terminal to the charge
indicator lamp.
As with other charging systems, the charge indicator
lamp lights when the ignition switch is turned to ON, and
goes out when the engine is running. If the charge indi-
cator is on with the engine running, a charging system
defect is indicated.
The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature
and limits the system voltage by controlling the rotor
field current. The regulator switches rotor field current
on and off. By varying the on-off time, correct average
field current for proper system voltage control is ob-
tained. At high speeds, the on-time may be 10 percent
and the off-time 90 percent. At low speeds, with high
electrical loads, on-time may be 90 percent and the off-
time 10 percent.
CHARGING SYSTEM
The Delco-Remy CS charging system has several mod-
els available, including the
∅
114D (A-type) or CS114D
(B-type). The number denotes the outer diameter in
millimeters of the stator laminations.
CS generators use a new type of regulator that incorpo-
rates a diode trio. The Y connection (A-type) or Delta (B-
type) stator, a rectifier bridge, and a rotor with slip rings
and brushes are electrically similar to earlier generators.
A conventional pulley and fan are used. There is no test
hole.
STARTER
Wound field starter motors have pole pieces, arranged
around the armature, which are energized by wound
field coils.
Enclosed shift lever cranking motors have the shift lever
mechanism and the solenoid plunger enclosed in the
drive housing, protecting them from exposure to dirt, icy
conditions, and splashes.
In the basic circuit, solenoid windings are energized
when the switch is closed. The resulting plunger and
shift lever movement causes the pinion to engage the
engine flywheel ring gear. The solenoid main contacts
close. Cranking then takes place.
When the engine starts, pinion overrun protects the ar-
mature from excessive speed until the switch is opened,
at which time the return spring causes the pinion to dis-
engage. To prevent excessive overrun, the switch
should be released immediately after the engine starts.
STARTING SYSTEM
The engine electrical system includes the battery, the
ignition, the starter, the generator, and all the related wir-
ing. Diagnostic tables will aid in troubleshooting system
faults. When a fault is traced to a particular component,
refer to that component section of the service manual.
The starting system circuit consists of the battery, the
starter motor, the ignition switch, and all the related elec-
trical wiring. All of these components are connected
electrically

DISTRIBUTOR
Distributor distributes the high tension voltage induced
from ignition coil, to each spark plug of each cylinder in
