Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
Caution: This erases data in the electronic memory, such as the engine fault memory or the radio receiver code. Disconnect the battery only when the ignition is switched off, otherwise the fuel injection device control unit may be damaged. Before disconnecting the battery, read the instructions in the "Radio receiver" and "Removing and installing the battery" sections.
Remove the ignition wires by disconnecting the spark plug connector on the distributor and removing the spark plug tips. Also disconnect the high-voltage wire between the ignition coil and the distributor.
Note: When removing, hold the connector, not the wire.
Measure the resistance between the spark plug tips.

On vehicles produced from September 1988 to August 1990, measure the resistance of the high-voltage wire between the ignition coil and the ignition distributor.
- Required value for 1.3L engine: 4.5 kOhm
- Required value for 1.5L engine: 2.7 kOhm
If the resistance is increased, clean the wire connection points and repeat the measurement; replace the wire if necessary.
Bend each spark plug wire at the spark plug tip and check for cracks in the insulation; replace all spark plug wires if necessary.
Connect the ground cable to the battery.
Set the time on the clock, if available, and enter the radio security code.
