For car enthusiasts and performance seekers, optimizing engine response is a thrilling endeavor. Ignition systems play a pivotal role in enhancing this aspect by delivering precise sparks that ignite ...

Paging through an ignition catalog reveals all sorts of different ignition coils for conventional distributor-type ignition systems. To say it's a mite confusing is an understatement!Just how does an ...

A battery in a traditional car cannot directly create engine spark. It’s only rated at 12 volts, after all, so it needs a little help boosting the signal to the spark plugs. To make that happen, a car ...

An ignition coil takes voltage from the battery and multiplies it to create a spark at the spark plugs, which in turn ignites the engine. Cars have been using some form of the coil ignition system for ...

Heat initiates the internal combustion process. Diesel engines utilize the temperature buildup from extremely high compression (pressure) to ignite the air/fuel mixture, with a little help from glow ...

At 7,000 rpm, a spark plug ignites the air/fuel mixture nearly 60 times per second. Any one of those 60 sparks going amiss can at best be mildly annoying, and at worst cost you a race or an engine.

Ignition coils play a crucial role in a vehicle’s ignition system. They serve to convert the battery’s low voltage into the high voltage necessary to fire the spark plugs. If there’s any malfunction ...

Hot rodding has always been and will always be a cannibalistic hobby. We steal from the rich new technology of current-year cars and adapt those parts to our poor and outdated hot rods. It's a ...

Just like spark plugs, ignition coils can wear down and become faulty over time. There are many common signs that an ignition coil is getting bad, but one obvious sign is an engine misfire, typically ...

Hinckley Triumph motorcycle owners have been complaining about ignition coil failures since, well, probably since the first Bloor Triumph sputtered off the assembly line. This is Part 1 of this ...

An ignition coil is a vital component of a vehicle's ignition system. It is responsible for converting the low voltage from the battery into the high voltage needed to produce sparks at the spark ...
