IGNITION SYSTEM ENGINE ELECTRICAL16-30 IGNITION SYSTEM GENERAL INFORMATIONM1163000100294 This system is equipped with two ignition coils (A and B) with built-in power transistors for the No. 1 and No. 4 cylinders and the No. 2 and No. 3 cylinders respectively. Interruption of the primary current flowing in the pri- mary side of ignition coil A generates a high voltage in the secondary side of ignition coil A. The high volt - age thus generated is applied to the spark plugs of No. 1 and No. 4 cylinders to generate sparks. At the time that the sparks are generated at both spark plugs, if one cylinder is at the compression stroke, the other cylinder is at the exhaust stroke, so that ignition of the compressed air/fuel mixture occurs only for the cylinder which is at the compression stroke. In the same way, when the primary current flowing in ignition coil B is interrupted, the high voltage thus generated is applied to the spark plugs of No. 2 and No. 3 cylinders. The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU turns the two power transistors inside the ignition coils alternately on and off. This causes the primary currents in the ignition coils to be alternately inter - rupted and allowed to flow to fire the cylinders in the order 1-3-4-2. The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU determines which ignition coil should be controlled by means of the signals from the camshaft position sensor which is incorporated in the camshaft and from the crank angle sensor which is incorporated in the crankshaft. It also detects the crankshaft position in order to provide ignition at the most appropriate timing in response to the engine operation condi - tions. It also detects the crankshaft position in order to provide ignition at the most appropriate timing in response to the engine operation conditions. When the engine is cold or operated at high alti- tudes, the ignition timing is slightly advanced to pro- vide optimum performance. When the automatic transmission shifts gears, the ignition timing is also retarded in order to reduce out - put torque, thereby alleviating shifting shocks.
