So, the ignition system has evolved over the years, to create at least 4 different types. Even though they are, completely different, they actually all have the same goal. To take a low voltage and turn it into a high voltage. Allowing the spark plug to ignite the air and fuel mixture, at the correct time.
Some of these types include:
The most sophisticated, of all ignition systems. The coil on plug ignition system, places an ignition coil; directly on the top of each spark plug. As a result, the coil on plug ignition system, eliminates […]
Today, the ignition switch is a complex device; that powers numerous electrical and electronic systems, throughout the vehicle. In fact, the newest version, identifies the drivers key and allows him to activate the starting system. […]
Crankshaft position sensors (CKP) set ignition timing; supply the (RPM) signal; and determine engine speed. But, when the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) fails; it stops transmitting the signal. Also, the crankshaft position sensors (CKP) signal […]
Engine spark knock, sounds like a metallic knocking, pinging or rattling noise, coming from your engine. Engine spark knock, is usually heard, during moderate to heavy engine acceleration. And, usually occurs after the engine, has […]
There are a number of symptoms, that can point to your Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) failing. But, can also be confused with the same symptoms; caused by issues with your ignition or fuel injection systems. […]
When a Crankshaft – Camshaft Position Sensor goes BAD, your vehicle will not start. Distributorless ignition systems (DIS) require a crankshaft position sensor (CKP), and sometimes also a camshaft position sensor (CMP). Crankshaft – Camshaft […]
When your engine cranks, but fails to start, it could be because of no spark. No spark, is one of the most common reasons, why your engine will not start. When taking on a no spark […]
The function of the automatic shutdown (ASD) relay is, to shut off power to major systems. When the key is turned off, as a safety feature. So, when the automatic shutdown (ASD) relay is on; […]
Crankshaft position sensors, produce a signal that; talks to the fuel injection computer or the ignition control module. Consequently, providing the exact position of the pistons, as they come up or go down in the […]
