What is the DIS

[SRGUYINDAVIS]

I am trying to troubleshoot my car and keep reading about the DIS, I am curious what it is and where it is loacted on a gen 1

It is the 'brain' of the ignition system. It takes the readings from the crank sensor, the cam sensor, and runs the motor. It stands for "Distributorless Ignition System" - I think. If you are looking at your motor from the front of the car it is the gray rectangular box on the crossover tube on the passenger side of the engine bay. With one plug on each end.

ive had to replace my DIS, if your car runs ok and as you drive gets worse and has little power and soon wont rev, it might be the DIS module, if you run codes and i gives coil pack codes im sure of it

Just because your SHO does this does not automatically mean the DIS is bad...
