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 ...

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 ...

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 fuel prices continue to rise and consumer awareness and or government regulations for lower combustion emissions increase, automobile manufacturers are exploring ignition strategies to improve the ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
