Ignition Coil/Module Assembly

The ignition coil/module assembly used on this engine integrates the 4 coils and the module within a single sealed component.

The ignition coil/module has the following circuits:

The ECM controls the individual coils by transmitting timing pulses on the IC circuit of each ignition coil to enable a spark event.

The spark plugs are connected to each coil by a short boot. The boot contains a spring that conducts the spark energy from the coil to the spark plug. The spark plug electrode is tipped with platinum for long wear and higher efficiency.
