Standard Ignition LX-982 Ignition Control Module

Ignition Control Module for Distributor Systems

Standard Ignition LX-982 is an ignition control module for distributor-mounted electronic ignition systems. It is built for 12-volt applications and is a direct service part for select Dodge Colt, Mitsubishi Mirage, and Chrysler Conquest vehicles.

Key Features

• Bolt-on attachment method for distributor mounting
• Female connector with 1 connector and 8 male blade terminals
• High-temperature polymer housing to reduce moisture intrusion and vibration damage
• Copper slug heat sinks for improved heat dissipation
• Responds to weak crankshaft position sensor signals for quicker coil energizing in cold starts
• Double wire bonds for stronger electrical connections and improved durability
• Thermal-cycle tested from -40C to +125C

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition LX-982 is engineered for distributor ignition pickup systems where stable coil control and reliable signal response are critical. It is a practical replacement for vehicles such as the 1985-1986 Mitsubishi Mirage, 1986 Dodge Colt, 1987 Chrysler Conquest, 1987-1989 Dodge Colt, 1987-1988 Mitsubishi Mirage, and 1990 Dodge Colt. This part number, LX-982, is designed to address common electronic ignition failure points with construction focused on heat management, vibration resistance, and consistent electrical contact.

This part cross-references Mitsubishi MD097598 and MD109554 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• No-start or hard-start conditions related to distributor ignition control
• Intermittent ignition signal loss from heat or vibration exposure
• Weak cold-weather starting caused by delayed coil energizing
• Misfire or stalling tied to failing ignition module electronics
• Moisture-related module performance issues inside the distributor

Installation Notes and Tips

Install LX-982 at the distributor using the bolt-on mounting style and verify the connector and 8 blade terminals match the original unit before installation. Confirm vehicle emissions equipment and ignition pickup configuration on 1986 Dodge Colt applications, since fitment notes specify U.S. Emissions with Distributor Ignition Pickup. Always compare the original module part number and connector layout before replacement.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures electronic ignition components with in-process quality control from component selection through final assembly. LX-982 is durability tested through 500 thermal cycles to help verify performance across wide temperature swings.
