Compact coil housing (1135)

The coils are attached to a compact box located and fastened on the cylinder head

Monostatic ignition (one coil per cylinder)

Sparking plugs

Flat seat ignition plugs

Tightening torque: 2,5 daNm

Injection ECU

The coil command and power stages are incorporated into the ECU (there is no external ignition module)

The synchronisation of ignition is achieved by the sensor of the N°1 reference cylinder

The HPi engine uses several operating modes

  • Operating with a very weak stratified air/petrol mixture (late type)
  • Operation with a homogeneous air/petrol mixture

The primary current of the ignition coils is modulated by the injection ECU as a function of the following elements

  • The battery voltage
  • The general engine operating condition
