2 . DLI (DISTRIBUTORLESS IGNITION) SYSTE M
DLI is an electronic spark distribution system
which distributes high voltages directly from the
ignition coils to the spark plugs without the need
of a conventional distributor . It differs from the
conventional type of ignition system as shown

In the DLI, the igniter is connected to the Engine
ECU as shown in the figure above . There are
three ignition coils : one for cylinders No . 1 and
No
. 6, one for cylinders No . 2 and No . 5, and one
for cylinders No . 3 and No . 4 . The ECU sends
cylinder identification signals (IGDA and IGDB)
and the IGT signal to the igniter in accordance
with the G 1, G2 and NE signals from the cam posi-
Igniter
tion sensor which detects the crankshaft angle,
engine speed and various sensors .
The igniter distributes the primary current to the
three ignition coils based on these signals . For
this reason, the spark plugs in cylinders No . 1
and No . 6 fire simultaneously, as do those in
cylinders No . 2 and No . 5 and cylinders No . 3
and No . 4 . In other words, each spark plug is
ignited two times in one cycle .
