Double-Ended Ignition Coils

PCM operates each double ended ignition coil via the power output stage. Power stage is located on bulkhead behind engine.

When ignition coil fires, spark is supplied to 2 cylinders simultaneously. One plug fires during compression stroke and ignites fuel mixture while the other plug fires during the exhaust stroke.
