Rather than use a mechanical distributor to time spark plug firing, the distributorless Toyota Direct Ignition (TDI) system places an ignition coil on top of each spark plug (in some cases, two spark plugs share a coil). This eliminates many wear items and reduces the number of parts in the system as well as the number of high-voltage wires under the hood.
Industry:Automotive
By using more than the traditional one intake and one exhaust valve (two per cylinder), multiple valves (usually four per cylinder) increase the flow of the fuel/air mixture into the engine and exhaust gases out of the engine. It also allows a more central location of the spark plug for more uniform combustion.

The amount of cash or net trade-in allowance applied to reduce the cash sales price of a vehicle. Most retail transactions require a down payment of 10 to 15 percent of the amount to be financed. However, the required down payment can be less, depending on your credit standing, ability to repay and other criteria. A down payment helps lower your monthly payment, as well as establish equity in your vehicle.
