  2. Ignition coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_coil

    An ignition coil is used in the ignition system of a spark-ignition engine to transform the battery voltage to the much higher voltages required to operate the spark plug(s). The spark plugs then use this burst of high-voltage electricity to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The ignition coil is constructed of two sets of coils wound around an iron ...

  3. Firing order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

    Straight-six engines typically use a firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4, which results in perfect primary and secondary balance. However, a firing order of 1-2-4-6-5-3 is common on medium-speed marine engines. V6 engines with an angle of 90 degrees between the cylinder banks have used a firing orders of R1-L2-R2-L3-L1-R3 or R1-L3-R3-L2-R2-L1. Several ...

  4. Pivotal quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivotal_quantity

    One of the simplest pivotal quantities is the z-score.Given a normal distribution with mean and variance , and an observation 'x', the z-score: =, has distribution (,) – a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.

  5. Ignition system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_system

    The Kettering ignition system consisted of a single ignition coil, breaker points, a capacitor (to prevent the points from arcing at break) and a distributor (to direct the electricity from the ignition coil to the correct cylinder). [3] [4] [5] The Kettering system became the primary ignition system for many years in the automotive industry [6 ...

  6. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.

  7. Ford EDIS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_EDIS

    The EDIS-6 module is used on the following vehicles equipped with the 4.0L Ford Cologne V6 engine and 3.8L Ford Essex V6 engine between 1990 and 1997: Ford Ranger / Mazda B-Series; Ford Explorer / Mazda Navajo; Ford Aerostar; Ford Mustang (3.8L V6) Ford Thunderbird Supercoupe; Ford Taurus SHO V6 (1989–1995) Ford Windstar

  8. Delco ignition system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delco_ignition_system

    The ignition coil is a transformer. The primary winding (called the low-tension winding in early texts) is connected to the battery voltage when the points are closed. Due to the inductance of the coil, the current in this circuit builds gradually. This current creates a magnetic field in the coil, which stores a quantity of energy.

  9. Calculated Ignition Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculated_Ignition_Index

    The effects may include: corrosion, abrasive wear, clogged cylinder valves, fuel equipment damage, fuel pump failure, premature ignition, ignition failure, explosion, or engine failure. [1] Several indices are used to characterise fuels. [2] For spark-ignition engines the fuel has an octane rating.
