Igniter: Description and Operation

PURPOSE/OPERATION
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. The molded resin body encases an integrated electronic switching circuit with external electrical connectors. 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.
