New Engines and Specs for Alfa 156 - Jase
HJ (or other techies),

I have just read the article on the Alfa 156 new JTS petrol engine and am confused!

The article states that Alfa are abandoning Twin Spark in favour of direct injection. But aren't injection and sparking different functions? One is method of delivery and the other a method of combustion.

Does this mean that the JTS petrol engines have no spark plugs at all like diesel engines?

Please someone explain how this engine works.

Apologies for my ignorance
