English - English
In a gasoline engine, the means used for producing an electric spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders to produce the motive force. The ignition system consists of a storage battery recharged by a generator, an induction coil, a device to produce timed high-voltage discharges from the induction coil, a distributor, and a set of spark plugs. The battery provides an electric current of low voltage, usually 12 volts, that is converted by the system to some 40,000 volts. The distributor routes the successive bursts of high-voltage current to each spark plug in the proper firing order
(Otomotiv) A system that provides the electric current used to ignite the fuel/air mixture in the combustion chambers of the cylinders. Its parts include the coil, which amplifies the voltage it gets from the battery and sends it to the distributor, which directs the current to each spark plug at the proper time. In cars with distributorless ignitions, the engine management computer directs low voltage current to the spark plug coils and then to the spark plugs
electronic ignition system
(Otomotiv) An ignition system that uses a computer to transmits electrical current to the spark plugs by electronic means, eliminating the need for mechanical components such as points and condensers
