TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
This vehicle uses a coil-on-plug electronic ignition system. The coil-on-plug ignition system consists of the following components
- powertrain control module (PCM)
- crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
- ignition coil-on-plug
- spark plugs (12405)
The PCM and the CKP sensor are also part of the electronic engine controls system. For additional information, refer to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS .
Eight separate ignition coils
- are controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM).
- are mounted directly above each spark plug.
- are controlled by the powertrain control module for the correct firing sequence.
The spark plugs
- change the high voltage pulse into a spark which ignites the fuel and air mixture.
- originally equipped on the vehicle have a platinum-enhanced active electrode for long life.
Refer to INTRODUCTION - CNG, FLEX-FUEL & GASOLINE .
