Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation

The Turbo engine uses a TI5 (Transistorized Ignition Module 5-pin type). The module is mounted to the side of the distributor and uses a 5 wire connector. It receives signals from the Electronic Control Assembly (ECA) to control spark, grounds the Coil negative side, and sends a feedback signal to the ECA.
