Ignition Coil Wasted-Spark M102 8V Mercedes W201 190E W124

Ignition Without a Distributor

On the EFI conversion on the M102 8V you replace the old distributor ignition with a distributorless wasted-spark ignition. The dual-spark ignition coil supplies two cylinders at a time and is driven directly by the ECU. That gives your 190E a strong, precisely timed spark without a mechanical distributor.

Without distributor rotor and cap, one wear point disappears, and the ECU sets ignition timing freely via the map.

Compatibility

• 190E 1.8 (W201)
• 190E 2.0 (W201)
• 190E 2.3 (W201)
• 200E (W124)
• 230E (W124)

The ignition coil bracket also serves as a blanking plug for the old distributor. The plug is therefore included; you do not need an extra part.

The full conversion is also available as a complete package: the EFI kit for the M102 8V brings all components together as a matched set.

Note

The ignition coil is part of an EFI conversion and requires ECU, wiring harness and trigger kit.
