Accord L4-2.2L SOHC VTEC (1994)
Igniter: Description and Operation
Distributor Exploded View
PURPOSE
Interrupts the current in the ignition coil primary windings, allowing stored energy to be released in the form of a high-tension pulse through the
secondary windings.
CONSTRUCTION
Molded resin body encasing an integrated electronic switching circuit with external electrical connectors.
OPERATION
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 Volts), the ignitor interrupts the current in the ignition coil primary windings, allowing stored energy to be
released in the form of a high-tension pulse through the secondary windings.
