303-07-1 Engine Ignition — 2.0L and 2.3L
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Engine Ignition
The electronic ignition (EI) system for the 2.0L and
2.3L engines consists of the following components:
• Coil on plug
• Spark plugs
• Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
• Camshaft position (CMP) sensor
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor:
• is a variable reluctance sensor.
• is mounted on the engine front cover.
303-07-1
• is triggered by a 36-minus-1 tooth trigger wheel
located on the crankshaft pulley and damper.
• provides ignition timing and crankshaft speed
(rpm) to the powertrain control module (PCM).
Refer to Section 303-14 for removal and installation
of the CKP sensor.
The coil on plug:
• is controlled by the PCM.
• fires 2 spark plugs simultaneously.
The spark plug:
• ignites the fuel and air mixture.
