The ignition system is a two-coil ignition system that supplies sufficient energy for ignition up to high speeds. This engine does not have a distributor since the engine control unit directly activates the power transistor for ignition timing control. The functions and controls of the engine control unit and various sensors that control the ignition timing are described in the next chapter, IGNITION CONTROL SYSTEM. This ignition system has two power transistors and two ignition coils. Power transistor “A” controls the primary current of ignition coil “A” to activate the

and cylinders. spark plugs of the Similarly, power transistor controls ignition coil “B” which activates the spark plugs of the and cylinders. In this way, spark plugs of two cylinders are activated but actual ignition takes place only in the single cylinder that is on its compression stroke, because the other is on its exhaust stroke at that time. Power transistors “A” and “B” are activated by signals from the engine control unit, that controls which cylinder is fired at what time.

The above block diagram shows the of the engine control unit for ignition timing control. One feature is that the engine control unit provides ignition power distribution control which is necessary because this engine is without a distributor, as has been described earlier. By activating two power transistors alternately, the primary current of two cylinders ignition coils, one for the No. 1 and and one for the No. 2 and No, 3 cylinders is turned on and thus causing the cylinders to fire in the order of 1, 3, 4, 2. For ignition timing control, -optimum ignition timing

is determined by making preset corrections which has been for engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature other conditions of ignition advance angle that has been preset according to the engine operating conditions. For vehicles with bocharger have a knocking control that corrects ignition advance angle according to the presence or absence of knocking. The engine control unit also controls the primary current energization time in order to secure stable ignition energy. These controls - - - - - - - are explained in detail below.

The cylinder to be ignited is determined based on the top dead center signal and the crank angle signal. the top dead center signal has already been input to the engine control unit when the crank angle signal is input, the unit decides that the No. 1 cylinder (or No. 4) cylinder is on the compression stroke and turns off power transistor “A” and cylinder) to fire. causes the No. 1 cylinder (and If the top dead center signal has not been input to the engine control unit when the crank angle signal is input, the unit decides that the cylinder (or No. 2) cylinder is on the compression stroke and turns off power transistor “B” and causes the cylinder (and No. 2 cylinder) to fire. In this way, the power transistors “A” and are turned off alternately for ignition power distribution.

The engine control unit has the ignition advance angle value for all cylinder stroke intake air volumes (engine load) and engine speeds stored in its memory; this is called the basic ignition advance angle. The control unit makes corrections in this value according to the engine operating conditions such as the engine coolant temperature, barometric pressure (altitude) and intake air temperature to obtain optimum advance angle for current engine conditions. At the engine start and during ignition timing adjustment, however, it is set to preset fixed timing. WHILE CRANKING When cranking, the ignition advance angle is fixed at in synchronization with the crank angle signal. (2) DURING NORMAL OPERATION Basic ignition advance angle: Map values that have been preset for all stroke intake air volumes (engine load) and engine speeds.

Engine coolant temperature correction: The engine coolant temperature sensor detects the engine coolant temperature and when it is low, the ignition timing is advanced to improve Barometric pressure correction: The barometric pressure sensor detects the barometric pressure and determines the altitude. When the pressure is low (i.e. when the vehicle is at a high altitude), the ignition timing is advanced to secure maximum driveability. intake air temperature correction: The intake air temperature sensor detects the intake air temperature and when it is low, the ignition timing is delayed to prevent knocking in cold weather. When it is high, the timing is also delayed to prevent of knocking. DURING ADJUSTMENT OF IGNITION TIMING When the terminal for ignition timing and idle speed adjustment is shorted to ground, the ignition timing in synchronization with the crank is set at angle signal, If the ignition timing does not agree turn with the reference ignition timing of the crank angle sensor to adjust the timing so that the crank angle signal agrees with the reference ignition timing. When the engine speed is approximately 1,200 rpm or higher, however, the timing advance is according to normal operation and therefore this ignition timing adjustment is not available.

Engine knocking is detected and the ignition timing is controlled accordingly to prevent continued knocking and to protect the engine. When knocking is detected, the engine control unit delays the ignition timing according to the signal from the detonation sensor until the knocking is eliminated (up to a maximum 12� in crank angle). In the case of an open or short circuit of the detonation sensor harness. the timing is delayed by a fixed angle (approximately 8� in crank angle) to prevent knocking.

If knocking continues, the advance angle map value is corrected gradually in the delay direction. In the absence of knocking, the map value is corrected gradually in the advance direction. In this way, optimum ignition timing is constantly controlled; this control is effective even when fuels of different octane ratings are used. This means that the engine is protected from knocking damage even when the fuel is switched from premium to regular or vice versa.

Energization Time Control While Synchronized with crank angle sensor signal During normal operation Map value responding to battery voltage

time is clipped at 75% of ignition interval

In order to obtain stable ignition energy, the gization time of the ignition coil primary current is controlled as to keep current at a constant value when the primary current is shut off. DURING NORMAL OPERATION Basic energization time The increase of the ignition coil primary current changes with the battery voltage. Therefore, the energization time is so controlled that the primary The basic current at time of ignition becomes energization time is so set that it is longer when the battery voltage is low and is shorter when the

Energization time clip: The new two-coil ignition system has its ignition interval doubled when compared to the al single type, allowing a longer clip time. As a result, a long energization time is secured for sufficient ignition energy even during high speed operation. WHILE CRANKING When cranking, the ignition coil is energized in synchronization with the crank angle signal.
