  2. Dieseling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieseling

    The ignition source of a diesel engine is the heat generated by the compression of the air in the cylinder, rather than a spark as in gasoline engines. The dieseling phenomenon occurs not just because the compression ratio is sufficient to cause auto-ignition of the fuel, but also because a hot spot inside the cylinder (spark plug electrode ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Contact breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_breaker

    The contact breaker is operated by an engine-driven cam.On an engine with a distributor, the contact breaker can be found beneath the distributor cap.The position of the contact breaker is set so that it opens (and hence generates a spark) at exactly the optimum moment to ignite the fuel/air mixture.

  5. Crankshaft position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft_position_sensor

    A crank sensor (CKP) [1] [2] [3] is an electronic device used in an internal combustion engine, both petrol and diesel, to monitor the position or rotational speed of the crankshaft. This information is used by engine management systems to control the fuel injection or the ignition system timing and other engine parameters.

  6. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

    The threaded terminal at left would connect to the battery through a heavy cable. At the right end of the solenoid coil, a linkage inside the housing would engage the pinion visible in the housing at the right side of the motor. 1: Main Housing (yoke) 2: Overrunning clutch 3: Armature 4: Field coils 5: Brushes 6: Solenoid

  7. Firing order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

    The firing order of an internal combustion engine is the sequence of ignition for the cylinders. In a spark ignition (e.g. gasoline/petrol) engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which the spark plugs are operated. In a diesel engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which fuel is injected into each cylinder.
