The automotive ignition system is an incredibly amazing machine that has evolved for more than 100 years already and continues to evolve as the demand drives the need to develop more efficient engines ...

Firepower's smarter sparks are generated by this sealed ignition module which contains an integrated circuit (IC) chip known as an EPROM. Each unit's Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory chip is ...

ABSTRACT Turbulent Jet Ignition is an advanced pre-chamber initiated combustion system for an otherwise standard spark ignition engine found in current on-road vehicles. This type of ignition enables ...

We get frequent reminders that we are on the "bleeding edge" of autodom's electrification. And the reality is that because of huge EV production investments and battery costs, as well as range and ...

Direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) engines have been investigated for many years but only recently have shown promise as a next generation gasoline engine technology. Much of this new enthusiasm ...

As long as there have been internal combustion engines, there has been a need for an ignition system to ignite the air and fuel mixture in the cylinders. From the earliest days of automotive ignitions ...

Ignition system technology has taken a number of twists and turns over the past 50 years. Matthew Beecham talks with experts from Delphi and Denso about the latest developments both on the OE and ...

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.

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 ...

Out of the many different aspects of the Pontiac hobby, ignition-system function is often the most misunderstood. Since it deals with an intangible (i.e., electricity), it's very easy to assume one ...
