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.
Ignition System
The ignition system consists of a distributor containing a crank-angle sensor, an ignition coil equipped with a power transistor, and SPFI control unit. The crank-angle signal and reference signal detected by crank-angle sensor are sent to SPFI control unit.
The SPFI control unit determines optimum ignition timing from these signals and other engine operating parameters, and transmits an ignition signal to ignition coil ignitor. The ignitor amplifies this ignition signal and causes primary current to flow intermittently in ignition coil.
