Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation

1991 Acura Legend Coupe V6-3206cc 3.2L SOHC FISECTION Description and Operation

Igniter Unit:






Once the control unit has computed a timing setting, based on the signals from the various sensors, the value is converted into a control signal for the ignitor. When the signal again falls (to 0 V), the ignitor interrupts the current in the ignition coil primary windings and the stored energy is released in the form of a high-tension pulse through the secondary windings. The ignitor is located on the inner passenger side fender, on shock tower.
