Ignition system - fully electronic type

The 1.8 litre 16 valve engine is fitted with a Fully Electronic Ignition (FEI) system.

This system functions in a similar manner to the transistorised system described in Part B of this Chapter. In addition, it incorporates an electronic control unit which adjusts the ignition timing electronically according to engine speed, load and temperature. The distributor is not fitted with centrifugal and vacuum advance mechanisms.
