    The ignition system produces a high voltage spark to ignite the fuel in an engine. It distributes the spark to each cylinder in the correct firing order and timing. The basic components are a battery/magneto, ignition switch, ignition coil, distributor, spark plugs and wires. The ignition coil transforms a low voltage current from the battery into the high voltage needed for the spark. The distributor distributes the high voltage spark to each cylinder based on engine speed and timing. Modern systems use electronic ignition controls rather than mechanical contact points.

    IGNITION SYSTEM

    IGNITION SYSTEM C Copyright Gautam Malik 2007


    IGNITION FUNCTION
    • Produces 15000-30,000 volt spark across
    spark plug
    • Distributes high voltage spark to each
    spark plug in correct sequence
    • Times the spark so it occurs as piston is
    nearing top dead center
    • Varies spark timing with load, speed, and
    other conditions

    IGNITION SYSTEM C Copyright Gautam Malik 2007


    BASIC IGNITION SYSTEM
    • Battery supplies power
    to entire system
    • Ignition Switch turns
    engine on or off
    • Coil transforms volts
    • Switching device
    triggers ignition coil
    • Spark Plug and wires
    distribute spark

    IGNITION SYSTEM C Copyright Gautam Malik 2007


    PRIMARY CIRCUIT
    • Consists of low
    voltage wiring and
    components
    • Uses conventional
    type automotive
    primary wires
    • Controls when
    ignition will take
    place. (When coil
    fires)

    IGNITION SYSTEM C Copyright Gautam Malik 2007


    SECONDARY CIRCUIT
    • Distributes current
    to individual
    cylinders to jump
    spark plug gap
    • Must have thicker,
    heavier insulation on
    wires
    • Typical voltage to
    jump gap - 10K Volts

    Distributor

    IGNITION SYSTEM C Copyright Gautam Malik 2007


    Condenser
    It acts like a capacitor
    in the ignition
    circuit.It gets charges
    when there is no spark
    & discharge itselfs so
    as to make the spark
    possible

    distributor degrees
    that points remain
    closed between each
    opening
    • Coil saturation time
    is controlled by
    amount of dwell

    DISTRIBUTORLESS
    IGNITION
    • Timing is very precise
    • No mechanical parts to wear out
