It's actually THICK film ignition module...
"The TFI stands for Thick Film Ignition. The module itself consists of some solid state electronic components suspended in a thick, clear electrolytic film, hence the name TFI."
Not that it really matters, but when I actually know something of relevance it makes me feel good.haha But yes ymeski is right on, and that's the part my money is on too.

Oh, you mean when energy from an applied voltage is used to drive an otherwise nonspontaneous reaction? 'That"electrolytic! Damn, now I gotta find a TFI to disect! This is all your fault BGB! Before now, I couldn't have cared less what made em tick (or thick)! the fact that they work on that principal, tells us they're not gonna last forever & why they're temperature temperamental in their old age.
