Ignition System With Static High Tension Distribution

DESCRIPTION
A separate output stage-controlled ignition coil is provided for each cylinder which supplies high tension (up to 32 kV) via the spark plug connectors to the spark plugs. This makes it possible to quickly and independently control changes in the ignition timing (ignition angle).

Due to the lack of any rotating parts, the effective range for ignition timing (angle) control has been increased by approx. 100 crank angle to 590 crank angle per cylinder. A camshaft sensor is used to maintain the correct firing order.
