Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Spark Control Computer
The Spark Control Computer (SCC) is the heart of the ELB system. It gives the ELB system the capability of igniting a lean air/fuel mixture according to different modes of engine operation by delivering an infinite amount of variable advance curves. There are 2 different computers depending upon application.
The computer determines the exact instant when ignition is required, then feeds the ignition coil to produce electrical impulses which fire the spark plugs. The computer receives signals from several sensors and instantly makes any necessary correction to engine advance or retard to maintain maximum efficiency.
