An ignition coil is a vital component of a vehicle's ignition system. It is responsible for converting the low voltage from the battery into the high voltage needed to produce sparks at the spark ...

Hinckley Triumph motorcycle owners have been complaining about ignition coil failures since, well, probably since the first Bloor Triumph sputtered off the assembly line. This is Part 1 of this ...

The P0351 code means your engine control module (ECM) has detected a malfunction in the ignition coil “A” primary/secondary circuit, which corresponds to cylinder 1 on most engines. When this circuit ...

One of the main differences in regular maintenance between a gasoline and a diesel-powered car is replacing the spark plugs. While diesel engines rely on compression to create ignition, and thus ...

The automotive ignition system is an incredibly amazing machine that has evolved for more than 100 years already and continues to evolve as the demand drives the need to develop more efficient engines ...

I have a 1954 Ford with a 272 Y-block. Before I got it the previous owner had added triple carbs, dual pipes, and a PerTronix point replacement kit. The coil was a standard 12V replacement and there ...

It's easy to forget about maintenance intervals, even for car people like us. Believe it or not, non-moving parts do wear. Maybe not as fast as moving parts (serpentine belts, brake rotors, and so on) ...

Hot rodding has always been and will always be a cannibalistic hobby. We steal from the rich new technology of current-year cars and adapt those parts to our poor and outdated hot rods. It's a ...

The ignition coil converts the vehicle’s 12 volts to the more than 10,000 volts required to produce an effective spark in the spark plugs, which in turn ignite the air-fuel mixture in an engine’s ...
