Coil-on-Plug but oh shit, we’re over budget. “Just half-ass it so we stay under”.

Guess they got the italian backwards at Alfa-Romeo when the Twin Spark engines were born...

It’s just a waste-spark setup. I don’t see the issue.

But everyone used wasted spark ignition. GM, Chrysler, Mazda, Toyota.

Did they do Coil on Plug for half, wires to the rest? The other engines were 1 coilpack with wires to all 4 plugs per usual

Waste spark system. Nothing wrong with it, and quite common for the period.

Still not as bad as Chevy’s single injector electronic fuel injection. I still remember the first time I saw that on my buddy’s Cavalier and how dumbfounded I was that a car manufacturer would do that.

Have you not heard of throttle body injection?

For Toyotas, I think the 5VZ-FE did. I’m pretty sure some of the 5E-FEs did as well.

Not before I saw it on that car. Apparently I lived a sheltered life away from the horrors of TBI until that moment. The scariest fuel injection system I’d dealt with until then was L-Jetronic, which isn’t really that bad at all.

Bosch did it, too - Monomotronic. We didn’t get it in the US, but Canada got it on a base model 1.8 liter Mk3 Golf.
And, K-Jetronic can get scary fast if someone fucked with the fuel distributor.

5VZ seems to be that way correct, 5E-FE’s are the normal coils besides engine, plug wires to plugs.

I don’t think I’ve seen one in a North American Tercel. I’m not sure which markets they came in.
