Ignition Systems

Master the spark that powers your engine by learning about Automotive Ignition Systems. This critical electrical network is responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture at the exact microsecond required for peak performance. Our resources cover everything from traditional distributor-based systems and mechanical points to modern coil-on-plug (COP) and distributorless ignition (DIS) technology. Learn how to diagnose weak spark, test ignition coils with a multimeter, and troubleshoot the crankshaft and camshaft sensors that control modern electronic timing. Restore your engine’s power, fuel economy, and smooth idle by mastering the art of ignition diagnostics.

Coil On Plug Ignition System (COP) on Engine

Coil On Plug Ignition System: A Game Changer in Coil Technology

11/18/2024

The most sophisticated, of all ignition systems. The coil on plug ignition system (COP), places an ignition coil, directly on the top of each spark plug. As a result, (COP) ignition eliminates the need for […]

09/29/2024

Timing belt failure, can cause catastrophic engine damage. But, timing belt failure can be avoided, by keeping the timing belt in good operating condition. So, timing belt failure, has always been a topic, no one […]

Timing Belts: Connect Parts Together, To Operate In Sequence

09/07/2024

Timing belts have replaced timing chains, in most of the vehicles on the road today. And, this belt is totally different, from “V-belts” or “Serpentine belts”. Because, this belt performs, a much more important job. […]

Crankshaft Position Sensor Being Unplugged

Crankshaft Position Sensor – (CKP) – Testing And Replacement

08/07/2024

Crankshaft position sensors (CKP) read ignition timing, the (RPM) signal, and determine engine speed. But, when the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) fails, it stops transmitting the readings. Consequently, the crankshaft position sensors (CKP) readings, contain […]
