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 ...

I have a 1954 Ford with a 272 Y-block. Before I got it the previous owner had added triple carbs, dual pipes, and a PerTronix point replacement kit. The coil was a standard 12V replacement and there ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The P0351 code means your engine control module (ECM) has detected a malfunction in the ignition coil “A” primary/secondary circuit, which corresponds to cylinder 1 on most engines. When this circuit ...

"It's not a heap, dad. It's a classic." That's harder to justify when your classic muscle car won't start. Nothing like a high-compression V8 combined with a battery that hasn't seen a charge for a ...
