Ignition System: Description and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION
This engine uses a fixed ignition timing system.

Basic ignition timing is not adjustable. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines spark advance. The system's main components are:
- Ignition Coil
- Distributor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Camshaft Position Sensor

The crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor are hall effect devices. The camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor generate pulses that are inputs to the PCM. The PCM determines crankshaft position from these sensors. The PCM calculates injector sequence and ignition timing from crankshaft position.
