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 ...

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 ...

Okada Projects of Japan recently introduced an innovative, highly effective and easy-to-install ignition Plasma Direct system, replacing the factory coils while promising to increase both horsepower ...

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 ...

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.).

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 ...

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 ...
