Direct Ignition System (Dis): Notes

Depending on number of cylinders, ignition system is a 2 or 3-coil, distributorless ignition system. On Eclipse (Turbo) and DOHC V6 engines, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is located beside camshaft, in front of engine. On all other engines equipped with DIS, CMP sensor is a separate unit mounted in place of distributor. On DOHC 4-cylinder, DOHC V6 and 1.8L 4-cylinder engines with California emissions, Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located beside crankshaft, in front of engine. PCM determines TDC based on pulse signals received from sensors and then controls MFI and ignition timing.
