Ignition coils play a crucial role in a vehicle’s ignition system. They serve to convert the battery’s low voltage into the high voltage necessary to fire the spark plugs. If there’s any malfunction ...

As fuel prices continue to rise and consumer awareness and or government regulations for lower combustion emissions increase, automobile manufacturers are exploring ignition strategies to improve the ...

Automotive ignitions systems have seen many transitions over the years. Historically, the designs have matured from a magneto to today’s coil-over-spark plug designs. The progression follows the ...

The morphing of state-of-the-art electronics into today's performance vehicles keeps getting better all the time. And in case you're confused as to what magazine you're reading, we're not referring to ...

The '84 turbo V6 Regals and Rivieras have a distributor less ignition system, the first production car to do so. There'll also be an adjustable high-output off-road setup based on the '83 dual-turbo ...

F. R. HAIGH has recently compared the relative advantages of magneto and coil ignition used for generating the explosions which occur in motor-car engines (Students' Quart. J. Inst. Elec. Eng., Dec.).

The purpose of the ignition system is to ignite, or fire, the spark plugs in order to generate power to run the engine. To do so, the battery sends current to the ignition coil. Then that high voltage ...

For optimum engine performance, it is necessary to have an ignition system that is on point. You see the whole purpose of your ignition system is to transform your battery's low voltage into the ...

Ignition problems can be infuriating. They always seem to pop up at the worst time and because they are hard to visually spot they can be difficult to find the source and correct. Adding to the ...

The ignition control module is a crucial component of a vehicle's ignition system. It is a control unit responsible for regulating the ignition timing and generating sparks to ignite the fuel-air ...
