Engine Ignition




Engine Ignition

The Electronic Ignition (EI) system consists of the:

- ignition coil

- spark plug wires

- spark plugs

The ignition coil is controlled by the PCM and fires 2 spark plugs simultaneously.

The spark plug wires carry high voltage pulses from the ignition coil to the spark plugs.

The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture.
