Coil Pack

A coil in a coil pack is turned on (coil charging) by PCM, and is turned off when 2 spark plugs are fired simultaneously. Spark plugs are paired so that one spark plug fires on the compression stroke and the other on exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the order is reversed and the next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing order.
