Spark Control

Spark control allows the CU to determine the exact instant that ignition is required, based upon information received from data sensors.

At the optimum time, the CU breaks the primary circuit of the ignition coil, producing a high voltage at coil center tower. This voltage surge fires the spark plug at the proper time for most efficient combustion, eliminating the need for vacuum and/or centrifugal advance.
