1. Peugeot 305 is equipped with a diagnostic socket for monitoring the operation of the engine and ignition system using electronic devices. You can use this socket yourself, but a workshop can use it to check your car....

TDC sensor — removal, installation and adjustment
1. The TDC sensor, which is part of the diagnostic socket, is located on the lower right side of the clutch housing. Its job is to generate a signal every time a notch on the crankshaft pulley passes it. This allows the...

Ignition system troubleshooting
1. Most engine performance problems are usually caused by a faulty ignition system in one of the circuits: low or high voltage. There are two main signs that indicate a faulty ignition system: either the engine does not...

Electronic (contactless) ignition system
