The automotive ignition system is an incredibly amazing machine that has evolved for more than 100 years already and continues to evolve as the demand drives the need to develop more efficient engines ...

As long as there have been internal combustion engines, there has been a need for an ignition system to ignite the air and fuel mixture in the cylinders. From the earliest days of automotive ignitions ...

No Ford engine project is complete without a properly functioning ignition system. This system has the important job of delivering the spark to the required cylinder at precisely the right time. Any ...

Ignition coils sit at the center of every gasoline engine’s spark, yet they usually stay invisible until something goes wrong. When a coil starts to fail, the symptoms can look like fuel problems, ...

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 ...

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 '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 ...

Myth 1:A Voltmeter Is BestReality:A Scope Is Much BetterThe reason ignition systems are so hard to understand is because the flow of electricity cannot be seen. A common voltmeter used by many to ...

This ignition coil driver is a HOT one! From my recollection, it delivers a nastier spark than the legendary Ford Model T ignition coil. The circuit uses an inverted 555 oscillator that is coupled to ...

The ignition system’s job is to ignite the air-fuel mixture in a gasoline engine. In addition to the spark plugs that spark in the combustion chambers, the ignition system consists of an ignition coil ...
