Introduction 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 r... |

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, turb... |

Ignition System Overview |
August 17, 2021
|
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 o... |
