Notes on the operation of the ignition system (Sierra)

The transistor ignition system has more energy in the high voltage circuit than the classic ignition system.

While the engine is running, do not touch the elements of the transistor ignition system, especially the high-voltage wires.

Before any operations related to the replacement of ignition system components, the battery should be disconnected from the vehicle's electrical equipment.

Do not connect a capacitor to terminal 1 of the ignition coil.

Do not connect the (+) battery terminal to terminal 1 of the ignition coil, as this may damage the switch.

When checking the compression pressure in the engine cylinders, you should disconnect the switch or connect terminal 4 of the ignition coil to the vehicle ground.
