Best Answer

no .depending on year model, you may have one coil or one for each cylinder...the ignition control module is an electronic controller that communicates between the computer and the ignition system.... the coil,or coils simply receive 12 volts from the battery and magnify the current before sending it to the spark plugs to ignite the fuel.

Where is the ignition and distributor located on a 1990 Chevy Celebrity?

The 1990 Chevy Celebrity engine is distributorless, the ignition is handled by a combination of the engine control module(computer) and the ignition control module. You did not mention which engine the car has. If your car has the 4 cylinder engine the ignition control module is below the intake manifold at the rear of the engine. You can follow the spark plug wires to it. The coils are mounted to the ignition control module. If your car has the V6 the ignition control module is near the starter and again you can follow the spark plug wires to it. Again the coils are mounted to the ignition control module.

Where is the ingition control module located on a 99 Saturn sL?

You didn't specify an engine, so I'm assuming you have the same 1.9 liter as I have in mine... If you follow the spark plug wires back to the ignition coils (the opposite end of the plug wires from the spark plugs) the ignition module is underneath those coils, bolted to the transaxle case. By 'underneath' I mean you have to remove the four bolts holding the coils down to get to the ignition module that they are mounted on. It's about 5 inches square by half an inch thick with a 5 pin wire connector on the bottom edge.


Little spark on cylinders 1 and 4 on a Chevy s10 with a 4 cylinder?

You didn't say what year but if it is a 98 the problem may be one of the coils is bad or the ingition control module may be bad. You could switch the two coils and see if 2 and 3 now have spark and 1 and 4 don't. If so replace the bad coil. If no change replace the ignition control module.


Where is the ignition module for a 2000 alero?

The ignition module is right underneath the ignition coils. The ignition coils are what the spark plugs attach to. My alro was riding really rough so i just changed my coils and module for $200 and it runs like new. All you do is unplug the wires, unscrew the coils(6 bolts) and there is your module. :) Hope this helps!!

The ignition module is located under the three ignition coils. The same bolts that hold the coils in place also retain the module to the mounting bracket. To find the coils, follow the ignition wires from the front of the engine to where they attach at the rear. The wires clip to the coils.
