  2. OBD-II PIDs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs

    The third and fourth bytes are to be interpreted differently depending upon whether the engine is spark ignition (e.g. Otto or Wankel engines) or compression ignition (e.g. Diesel engines). In the second byte (B), bit 3 indicates the engine type and thus how to interpret bytes C and D, with 0 being spark (Otto or Wankel) and 1 (set) being ...

  3. 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.

  4. Rev limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rev_limiter

    Ignition control rev limiting systems work by shutting off the spark plugs once the engine overspeeds. [3] This is less common in production vehicles because the system still injects fuel into the cylinder and consequently releases unburned fuel which may ignite at a turbo charger or in the exhaust pipe.

  5. Contact breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_breaker

    A mechanism may be provided to slightly adjust timing to allow for varying load on the engine. Since these contacts operate frequently, they are subject to wear, causing erratic ignition of the engine. More recent engines use electronic means to trigger the spark, which eliminated contact wear and allows computer control of ignition timing.

  6. Duraspark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duraspark

    The Duraspark II is a Ford electronic ignition system. Ford Motor Company began using electronic ignitions in 1973 with the Duraspark electronic ignition system and introduced the Duraspark II system in 1976. The biggest change, apart from the control box redesign, was the large distributor cap to handle the increased spark energy.

  7. Spark plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug

    Spark plug with single side electrode An electric spark on the spark plug. A spark plug (sometimes, in British English, a sparking plug, [1] and, colloquially, a plug) is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within ...

  8. Timing light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_light

    Timing light, combination instrument with RPM, volt meter and dwell angle meter. The actual light is on the far end. The black clamp connects to the battery -, the red clamp to +, the green one to the breaker side of the coil (for RPM), the big black clamp in the foreground is an inductive pick-up that clamps around a spark plug wire.

  9. Glossary of automotive terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_automotive_terms

    spark ignition A system that uses a high-voltage electrical arc or "spark" to ignite a fuel/air mixture. [1] spark plug An insulated plug that supports the electrodes between which the electrical arc or "spark" passes to initiate ignition of a spark-ignition engine. [1] speedometer A gauge that measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a ...
