WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty and 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system is a coil-on-plug ignition system. The coil-on-plug ignition system consists of the:
- ten ignition coil-on-plugs.
- ten spark plugs.
The 10 separate ignition coil-on-plugs:
- change low voltage signals from the PCM to high voltage pulses.
- produce the high voltage pulses to the spark plugs.
- are connected directly to the spark plug.
The 10 spark plugs change high voltage pulses into a spark which ignites the fuel and air mixture.
