How to check and replace the Igniter on Chevrolet Metro?

Remove the distributor cap together with the rotor from the engine. Remove the distributor. The distributor base seal needs removal; replace it if damage is present. Remove the module cover. Extract the module by removing its screws from the distributor. Two wires connect the module and the pick-up coil with the white wire opposite the red wire. Before putting away the components disconnect both wires from the distributor base and then separate them from the module while writing down which terminals belong to which wire for correct reassembly. The testing procedure requires three components: an ohmmeter, a test light and a 12-volt battery source which should follow the provided setup. Setting the ohmmeter to Rx 1 while placing the negative probe on the red wire terminal then the positive probe on the white wire terminal will preserve the module electronics but avoid wiring errors. The test light bulb illumination indicates the module operates correctly but a dark light signal indicates the module dysfunction necessitating a replacement. During installation reverse the procedures from removal by maintaining correct placement of the red and white leads from the pick-up coil.

Chevrolet Metro Igniter

Chevrolet Metro Igniter is responsible for controlling the coil current, which turns the battery power into the high voltage spark that causes the engine to fire. The Igniter functions as a rapid electric switch that initially receives either a sensor or a distributor signal. It subsequently closes the coil primary to establish a magnetic field. Then it opens the primary to discharge 15,000 to 40,000 volts to the plugs. This is designed to generate a stronger ignition and improve fuel efficiency. The early Chevrolet units had an Igniter in the distributor with a centrifugal and a vacuum advance. The later versions in the Metro had the distributorless system where the Igniter and the engine computer time every spark. It uses crank and cam data for this purpose. The distributor type relies on a hall effect or magnetic pickup, so if the shaft gap widens, you may get a misfire. The newer type reads a CKP sensor (crank position sensor) so that it is not subject to timing drift. When either style fails, you get a no start. A quick test with a light or DVOM will not show coil flicker, so you therefore have a bad Igniter. It is an easy swap, and you can tackle it with a basic tool set. Located either within the distributor or externally bolted, no matter where you look, the Igniter inside each Chevrolet Metro keeps spark precise and reliable for everyday driving.
