<description><![CDATA[Ignition coils provide the high voltage needed by the ignition system to fire the spark plugs. Most engines that have a distributor ignition system have a single coil, but a few import applications have two coils. On distributorless ignition systems (DIS), multiple ignition coils are used. On &quot;waste spark&quot; systems, each pair of cylinders shares a coil. On other DIS and coil-on-plug (COP) ignition systems, each cylinder or spark plug has its own individual coil. Fig 1. Ignition coil cutawayThe ignition coil serves as a high voltage transformer. It steps up the ignition system's primar...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[by Larry Carley Distributorless Ignition Systems (DIS) have been around for more than two decades, but in recent years the trend has been to multi-coil systems such as Coil On Plug (COP) or Coil Per Cylinder (CPC) ignition systems, and Coil Near Plug (CNP) ignition systems. Multi-Coil Ignition SystemsCOP systems have become the hot setup for a number of packaging, performance, emissions and maintenance reasons. Placing individual ignition coils directly over each spark plug eliminates the need for long, bulky (and expensive) high voltage spark plug cables. This reduces radio frequency interfer...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[First it was the distributor that vanished. Now plug wires are starting to disappear. What is next, the spark plugs? The answer is yes, but that will not happen until direct fuel injection systems that combine the injector and spark plug into one assembly start appearing in a few years. In the meantime, you will have to learn how to diagnose and repair the current generation of coil-on-plug (COP) ignition systems.Spark plugs wires are going away for the same reason that distributors went away. Vehicle manufacturers want to reduce costs and improve ignition performance and reliability. Plug wir...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Distributor Ignition SystemsThe distributor is the heart of the ignition system. Its three basic functions are to trigger the firing of the ignition coil, to control timing advance, and to route or distribute the coil's high voltage output to the individual spark plugs.Fig 1. Distributor Ignition SystemsOn older applications with breaker point ignition systems, the contact points switch the ignition coil's primary voltage on and off. The points are mounted on a movable plate in the distributor housing. Cam lobes on the distributor shaft rotate against a plastic block on the points to open and ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[by Larry Carley&nbsp; The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is on, and there is a misfire code. It is a code P0304, which tells you cylinder number four is misfiring. There are no other codes and the engine has a steady miss. Now what?Misfire diagnosis in this kind of situation should be fairly easy. You have a code, you know which cylinder is misbehaving, and you can hear and feel the misfire. The cause has to be one of three things: Ignition, fuel or compression. The hard-to-diagnose misfires are the ones that come and go and do not set any codes. These are the ghosts that can drive you crazy...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[by Larry Carley Spark plugs have been around almost as long as the internal combustion engine. In 1902, spark plugs were first used with a high voltage magneto to provide reliable ignition. For the next 70 years, spark plugs were a high maintenance item thanks to tetraethyl lead, which was used as an octane-boosting additive in gasoline. Unfortunately, lead tended to foul spark plugs after 12,000 to 15,000 miles of driving. Fig 1. Ignition System Spark Plug Fig 2. The difference between a hot and a cold spark plug is in the shape of the ceramic tip.Consequently, tune-ups and spark plug changes...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Introduction&nbsp; There are many different types of ignition systems. Most of these systems can be placed into one of three distinct groups: the conventional breaker point type ignition systems (in use since the early 1900s); the electronic ignition systems (popular since the mid 70s); and the distributorless ignition system (introduced in the mid 80s). The automotive ignition system has two basic functions: it must control the spark and timing of the spark plug firing to match varying engine requirements, and it must increase battery voltage to a point where it will overcome the resistance o...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[by Karim NiceIntroduction to Ignition SystemThe internal combustion engine is an amazing machine that has evolved for more than 100 years. It continues to evolve as automakers manage to squeeze out a little more efficiency, or a little less pollution, with each passing year. The result is an incredibly complicated, surprisingly reliable machine.Other How Stuff Works articles explain the mechanics of the engine and many of its subsystems, including the fuel system, cooling system, camshafts, turbochargers and gears. One could argue that the ignition system is where it all comes together, with a...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ by Mark DavidsonThe ignition system of an automobile generates and delivers the spark, used to ignite the air/fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber. The spark must be delivered at an exact time, in the proper sequence and of sufficient duration for the engine to run correctly. In addition, extremely high voltage is needed for the spark to bridge the gap of the spark plug in the harsh environment of the combustion chamber.  Prior to the early 70's, breaker point ignition systems were used on all vehicles and this allowed for simple automotive diagnosis, troubleshooting, and auto repair. B...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Replacing the ignition coil is not very difficult. We highly recommend that the coil be inspected and tested before replacement. This will save you money by ensuring the coil being replaced is actually defective.Replacing an Externally Mounted Ignition Coil:1.&nbsp;After testing the coil, remove the bracket hold-down bolts or screws and remove the coil and bracket from the vehicle. 2.&nbsp;Loosen the retaining bolts from the coil bracket and remove the coil. 3.&nbsp;Compare the old and new coil to ensure correct replacement. 4.&nbsp;Install the new coil into the coil bracket. 5.&nbsp;Place th...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Your ignition coil may be attached to the fender or engine (externally mounted), or mounted inside the distributor cap (internally mounted). They can be tested either on or off the vehicle. Before replacing the ignition coil, we suggest you inspect and test the distributor cap and rotor and the primary voltage circuit.Testing Externally Mounted Ignition Coils1.&nbsp;Disconnect the distributor cap end of the coil wire and attach to the ignition tester. Attach the ignition tester to a good ground, away from any fuel lines. A good spark tester can be made from an old spark plug gapped to 0.200. C...]]></description>
