Ignition

Your ignition system is responsible for starting and maintaining the operation of the engine. Ignition failure is not only frustrating but potentially dangerous. Here is a brief overview of automotive ignition and potential signs of ignition failure.

The components of an ignition system:

When the key is turned in the ignition switch, power is sent from the battery to the starter. The starter motor then turns the engine over, and the ECM sends a signal to the ignition coil to produce a spark, which ignites the fuel and air mixture in the engine. This process starts the engine and maintains its operation.
