Ignition Control Module for OE-Style Repair

Standard Ignition LX-316 is an external ignition control module built for 12-volt systems with a 2-connector, 7-blade terminal design. It is engineered for dependable spark control in older GM and Jeep applications, including 1986 Chevrolet Citation and California-emissions Jeep Cherokee, Comanche, and Wagoneer models.

• External mounting location for straightforward module replacement
• Male connector gender with 2 connectors
• 7 male blade terminals for OE-style electrical connection
• 12-volt ignition control module
• High-temperature polymer housing to reduce moisture intrusion and vibration damage
• Copper slug heat sinks to improve heat dissipation
• Double wire bonds for stronger internal connections and longer service life
• Built to respond to weak crankshaft position sensor signals for quicker coil energizing in cold starts

Detailed Application Coverage

Standard Ignition LX-316 is designed for vehicles that need a direct ignition control module replacement with stable coil control and improved thermal management. It is a strong match for drivers searching for an ignition control module for 1986 Chevrolet Citation, or a replacement ignition module for 1984-1986 Jeep Cherokee, 1986 Jeep Comanche, and 1984-1986 Jeep Wagoneer equipped with California emissions. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 7025 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• No-start or hard-start conditions caused by ignition module failure
• Intermittent spark loss during vibration or heat soak
• Poor cold-weather starting when coil energizing is delayed
• Moisture-related ignition performance issues
• Failure from thermal cycling and repeated temperature swings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and external mounting location before installation. Confirm the vehicle uses a 12-volt ignition system and check that the crankshaft position sensor signal and related wiring are in good condition, since weak input signals can affect module operation. For Jeep Cherokee, Comanche, and Wagoneer applications, confirm California-emissions fitment before ordering.
