What is an "igniter"?Gaffertape 01-10-2005, 09:10 AM Replacing the igniter in my 91 SE solved the stalling problem. I'd just like an idea of what that part actually does. Its a little ceramic plate with 4 electrical connections, attached to a metal plate and it slides into the distributor. Anyone know its function? Gaff Toronto, Canada mpumas 01-10-2005, 01:38 PM It is essentially an solid state switching device. It receives a grounded pulse from the ECU which causes it to connect the negitive side of the coil to ground. It takes the place of the points we had in older cars. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
