This article deals with flame rectification as it applies to direct spark ignition (DSI) modules. They are manufactured by a few different companies — Fenwal, Honeywell, Robertshaw, and White Rodgers, ...

The ignition control module is a crucial component of a vehicle's ignition system. It is a control unit responsible for regulating the ignition timing and generating sparks to ignite the fuel-air ...

Automotive ignitions systems have seen many transitions over the years. Historically, the designs have matured from a magneto to today’s coil-over-spark plug designs. The progression follows the ...

Q: My 2002 Buick LeSabre has 98,887 miles on it. Its ignition control module is failing. Since 2014 I have replaced it three times. Can you please tell why my control module keeps failing? It stops ...

For optimum engine performance, it is necessary to have an ignition system that is on point. You see the whole purpose of your ignition system is to transform your battery's low voltage into the ...

The ignition system has always been the weakest link in the combustion engine cycle. Belgian-born engineer, Jean Joseph tienne Lenoir, invented the stationary gasoline engine back in 1860 and he used ...

Around 1975, General Motors made a significant advancement in stock passenger ignition technology: the High Energy Ignition (HEI). One of its major features was installation simplicity. The coil was ...

ABSTRACT Turbulent Jet Ignition is an advanced pre-chamber initiated combustion system for an otherwise standard spark ignition engine found in current on-road vehicles. This type of ignition enables ...

The ignition system’s job is to ignite the air-fuel mixture in a gasoline engine. In addition to the spark plugs that spark in the combustion chambers, the ignition system consists of an ignition coil ...

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 ...

"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 ...
