  1. IGNITION SYSTEMS Columbia Basin College
  2. IGNITION FUNCTION • Produces 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
  3. BASIC IGNITION SYSTEM COMPONENTS • BATTERY • IGNITION SWITCH • IGNITION COIL • SWITCHING DEVICE • SPARK PLUG • IGNITION SYSTEM WIRES
  4. 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
  5. PRIMARY CIRCUIT • Consists of low voltage wiring and components • Uses conventional type automotive primary wires • Controls when ignition will take place. (When coil fires)
  6. 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
  7. IGNITION COIL • TRANSFORMER • 2 SETS OF WINDINGS • Primary windings • Secondary windings • IRON CORE • PRODUCES MAGNETIC FIELD
  8. IGNITION SYSTEM TYPES • CONTACT POINT IGNITION SYSTEM • ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM • DISTRIBUTORLESS IGNITION SYSTEM
  9. CONTACT POINT SYSTEM • Distributor turns 1/2 engine rpm • Distributor Cam • Contact Points • Condenser • Point Dwell (Cam angle) • Basis for all Systems
  10. DWELL (CAM ANGLE) • Amount of time in distributor degrees that points remain closed between each opening • Coil saturation time is controlled by amount of dwell
  11. ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM • Uses electronic control circuit to operate the ignition coil • More dependable than contact system • Higher secondary Ignition voltages
  12. MAGNETIC PICK UP COIL • Produces tiny voltage pulses to create magnetic field changes • Trigger Wheel interrupts magnetic field • Tell control unit (amplifier) when to fire ignition coil
  13. HALL EFFECT DEVICE • Hall Effect element is a solid state device • Contains a permanent magnet next to element • A Tab shunts magnetic field to send signal to control unit • Signal is On or Off
  14. IGNITION CONTROL UNIT AMPLIFIER • Controls Primary current to tell Ignition Coil when to fire spark plugs
  15. HIGH VOLTAGE SECONDARY COMPONENTS • IGNITION COIL • COIL WIRE • DISTRIBUTOR • DISTRIBUTOR CAP • DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR • SPARK PLUG WIRE • SPARK PLUG
  16. SECONDARY CIRCUIT • DISTRIBUTES SPARK TO RIGHT PLACE AT RIGHT TIME • PARTS ARE DESIGNED TO CONTROL HIGH VOLTAGES

  19. SPARK PLUG TYPES
  20. DISTRIBUTORLESS IGNITION • Timing is very precise • No mechanical parts to wear out • Requires less maintenance • Ignition timing is USUALLY not adjustable • Computer relies on ignition sensors • On-board computer controls ignition timing usually through a ignition module
