In a gasoline engine, the air-fuel mixture is ignited to cause combustion, and the force that is generated by the explosion causes the piston to push downward. The thermal energy can be most efficiently Read more Necessity of Ignition Timing Control
Ignition
Automotive Ignition System
The three essential elements of a gasoline engine aregood air-fuel mixture, good compression, and good spark. The ignition system generates a powerful spark through proper ignition timing in order to ignite Read more Automotive Ignition System
Operation Principle of the Transistorized Type with ESA
1. The engine ECU receives the signals from various sensors, calculates the optimal ignition timing, and sends an ignition signal to the igniter. (The engine ECU controls the timing advance.)
2. The Read more Operation Principle of the Transistorized Type with ESA
TDI (TOYOTA Direct Ignition System)
In the TDI system, the conventional distributor is no longer used as in the ignition system. Instead, it provides an ignition coil with an independent integrated igniter for each of the cylinders. Because Read more TDI (TOYOTA Direct Ignition System)
Automotive Ignition Coil
The ignition coil generates a high voltage that is sufficient for arcing sparks between the electrodes of a spark plug. The primary and secondary coils are wound around the core. The secondary coil is Read more Automotive Ignition Coil
