The spark plug: « changes the high voltage pulse into a spark which ignites the fuel and air mixture. « originally equipped on the vehicle has a platinum-enhanced active electrode for long life. Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor: NOTE: Initial engine ignition timing is set at 10 degrees +/- 2 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) and is not adjustable.

The sine wave type signal generated from the CKP sensor provides two types of information: * position of the crankshaft in 10 degree increments. « the crankshaft speed. The PCM uses this information to determine ignition coil turn ON and turn OFF times and misfire detection. For additional information, refer to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS article.
