Default Ignition System

Hello !!

Automobile Ignition System constitute of various devices, tools and components that are used for igniting the fuel in an internal combustion engine of a vehicle. In this system, electric current is used for burning the mixture of air and fuel with the help of coil, battery, and spark plug.

Ignition system is assembled in only those automobile engines, which operates with the help of petrol or gasoline. The two main functions of automobile ignition system are to produce enough voltage so that it can easily create a spark for burning air/fuel mixture and secondly it exercises control over the timing of spark and transmit it to the apt cylinder. A typical automobile ignition system produces voltage somewhere between 20000 volts and 50000 volts from a 12-volt source. Automobile ignition system can be further classified into three main heads such as mechanical ignition system, electronic ignition system and distributorless ignition system. Most of the vehicles today incorporate electronic ignition system in its engine.
Thank You

I think he expects a sticky, so future generations will know the quasi-literate definition of an ignition system.

Oh, and Peter.....you're welcome.
