WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2006 Dodge Caravan, and 2006 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
All engines use a fixed ignition timing system. Basic ignition timing is not adjustable. All spark advance is determined by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The ignition system used on these engines is referred to as the Direct Ignition System (DIS). The system's four main components are the coils, crankshaft position sensor, spark plugs, and camshaft position sensor. If equipped with the coil on plug ignition system it utilizes an ignition coil for every cylinder and is mounted directly over the each spark plug.
