WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. 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:
- six ignition coil-on-plugs.
- six spark plugs.
The 6 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.
- have replaceable ignition coil-on-plug seals.
The 6 spark plugs:
- change high voltage pulses into a spark which ignites the fuel and air mixture.
- originally equipped on the vehicle have a iridium-enhanced fine wire electrode for long life.
- gap is not adjustable.
