1.3 Digifant Ignition SystemThe Digifant ignition system is also TCI-h with knock control, however, all ignition functions including the knock sensor system are combined with the fuel injection control functions in the Digifant electronic control unit. Ignition timing is based on engine load, engine speed, ignition quality, and coolant temperature. Digifant I, installed on California cars (engine code RV) beginning in 1991, does not have an ignition control unit. Instead, the Hall sender signal is monitored by the Digifant I control unit. The control unit then sends a signal to the ignition coil power stage, which switches power to the coil. |
