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 ...
All combustion type engines require two variables to make power-air and fuel (gas, alcohol, methanol, etc). More air and fuel in the combustion chamber means more power potential. However, in reality ...
Worn ignition component gremlins are mysterious little buggers. Ignition misfires can be confused with fuel mixture or delivery problems. Even ambient humidity can affect the ignition system—making a ...
Engine cylinders can misfire due to problems with the ignition system, the fuel system, air and compression, or sensors and ...
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 system technology has taken a number of twists and turns over the past 50 years. Matthew Beecham talks with experts from Delphi and Denso about the latest developments both on the OE and ...
Transient Plasma Systems is working on a new advanced ignition system that could replace traditional spark plugs in gasoline engines. This could reduce emissions and improve the efficiency of internal ...
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SpendEdge, a global procurement market intelligence firm, has announced the release of their Global Automotive Ignition System Category - Procurement Market Intelligence ...
If you're a follower of the "How It Works" series, you've been learning the principles of what makes a car run. You've boned up on the four-stroke cycle, valvetrains, cooling, lubrication, and ...
The ignition system is a glutton for punishment. As the miles rack up, the distributor wears out, the coil gets abused, and the spark plug wires melt. The steadfast ignition system only gets attention ...
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 ...
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 ...
