Chapter 34 Ignition System Fundamentals

Contents Functions of an ignition system Basic ignition system Ignition system supply voltage Primary and secondary circuits Ignition coil Ignition distributors Contact point ignition system Electronic ignition system (Continued)

Contents Distributor cap and rotor Secondary wires Spark plugs Ignition timing Crankshaft-triggered ignition Distributorless ignition system Direct ignition system Engine firing order

Functions of an Ignition System Turns a spark ignition engine on and off Operates on battery or alternator voltage Creates a high voltage arc at the spark plug Distributes high voltage to each spark plug in the correct sequence Times the spark

Basic Ignition System Changes battery voltage to a very high voltage Sends the high voltage to the spark plugs

Basic Ignition System Battery voltage is stepped up to about 15,000 volts to fire the spark plug

Components Battery Ignition switch Ignition coil Switching device Spark plugs Ignition system wires

Operation With the ignition on and the switching device closed, current flows through the coil When the piston is near TDC on its compression stroke, the switching device opens Current flow through the coil stops, producing a high voltage surge Current arcs across the spark plug gap

Ignition System Supply Voltage Fed to the ignition system by the battery and alternator Components: ignition switch bypass and resistance circuits

Ignition Switch Key-operated switch Supplies power to the coil’s primary windings directly through bypass and resistance circuits

Bypass Circuit May be used to supply direct battery voltage to the ignition system during cranking Ensures enough voltage and current for proper ignition coil operation when cranking voltage is low

Resistance Circuit May be used between the ignition switch and coil Limits supply voltage to the ignition system during alternator operation Recent electronic systems do not use bypass or resistance circuits the circuitry inside the ignition control module limits current

During cranking, the bypass circuit feeds battery voltage to the coil

Resistance Circuit After starting, the resistance circuit feeds controlled voltage to the coil

Primary and Secondary Circuits Primary circuit Secondary circuit operates on low voltage 12–15 volts Secondary circuit high voltage section, 4000–30,000 volts includes wires and parts between the coil output and spark plug ground

Includes all the parts operating at battery voltage Primary Circuit Includes all the parts operating at battery voltage

Includes all the parts carrying coil output voltage Secondary Circuit Includes all the parts carrying coil output voltage

Ignition Coil Step-up transformer Produces short bursts of high voltage to start combustion The high voltage jumps the rotor gap, passes through the secondary wire, and jumps the spark plug gap 4000-8000 volts on old systems 4000-30,000 volts on newer systems

Ignition Coil Windings Primary several hundred turns of heavy wire wrapped around or near the secondary windings Secondary several thousand turns of fine wire located inside or near primary windings Iron core concentrates the magnetic field

Ignition Coil

Note how the schematic symbol relates to its construction Ignition Coil Note how the schematic symbol relates to its construction

Coil Operation Current flows through the primary winding A strong magnetic field is generated The iron core helps concentrate the field When the current is interrupted, the magnetic field collapses across the secondary windings Up to 60,000 volts is induced

Primary Dwell Period When current flows through the coil primary windings, a magnetic field builds

Dwell Ending—Ignition When the current flow stops, the magnetic field collapses across the secondary windings

Ignition Coil Designs Conventional system Distributorless system one coil for all cylinders Distributorless system one coil for every two cylinders Direct ignition system one coil for each cylinder

Several coils in one assembly Coil Pack Several coils in one assembly

Wasted-Spark Ignition Coil Fires two spark plugs at the same time Each end of the coil’s secondary winding is connected to a spark plug wire High voltage forces current through the two spark plug wires, firing each plug with opposite polarity The engine ground connects the two spark plugs

Wasted-Spark Ignition Coil One plug fires on compression, the other on the exhaust stroke

Ignition Distributors A small gear on the cam drives the distributor at one-half engine speed

Distributor Functions Controls the on/off cycles of the coil’s primary windings Distributes high-voltage to the spark plugs Controls the timing in relation to speed and load May drive the oil pump May house the ignition coil and the electronic switching circuit

Distributor Types Contact point Pickup coil Hall-effect Optical older, mechanical type Pickup coil magnetic-sensing coil or winding type Hall-effect magnetic-sensing, solid-state chip type Optical LED and light-sensing type

Contact Point Ignition System

Components Distributor cam Contact points Condenser opens contact points Contact points switches the coil primary ground Condenser prevents the contact points from arcing and burning

Operation When the distributor rotates, the cam opens the contact points once for each cylinder Spring force closes the contact points When the points are closed, the coil’s magnetic field builds When the points open, the field collapses and high voltage is sent to the spark plug

Point Dwell (Cam Angle) Amount of time, in degrees of distributor rotation, that the points remain closed between each opening

Electronic Ignition System

Electronic Ignition System Solid-state system Uses an ignition control module and a distributor pickup coil to operate the ignition coil No mechanical points to wear or burn Timing and dwell won’t change as mileage accumulates Produces high voltages

Trigger Wheel Also referred to as the reluctor or pole piece It is fastened to the upper end of the distributor shaft It has one tooth for each engine cylinder

Pickup Coil Small set of windings that form a coil Produces tiny voltage pulses that are sent to the ignition control module As the trigger wheel tooth passes the pickup coil, it changes the magnetic field Current is induced in the coil

Pickup Coil Operation

Hall-Effect Pickup Solid-state chip Produces a signal when triggered by a slotted wheel A constant current is sent through the device A permanent magnet is located next to the Hall-effect chip

Hall-Effect Operation When the magnetic field is blocked by the slotted wheel, the Hall-effect sensor switches off When the slotted wheel’s tab moves out from between the magnet and sensor, the magnetism causes the sensor to turn on The signal generated by the sensor is used by the ignition control module

Hall-Effect Operation Window between magnet and sensor

Hall-Effect Operation Tab between magnet and sensor

Optical Pickup Uses LEDs (light-emitting diodes) and photo diodes (light sensors) A slotted rotor plate rotates between the LEDs and the photo diodes When a slot passes between the diodes, light from the LEDs turns the photo diodes on

Optical Pickup A. LEDs shine light on the photo diodes B. Rotor plate

Ignition Control Module Turns coil primary current on and off Locations remote-mounted in engine compartment on the side of the distributor inside the distributor under dash

Ignition Control Module A. Remote-mounted B. Side of the distributor C. Inside the distributor

Operation—Dwell As the trigger wheel approaches the pickup coil, voltage turns the module’s transistor on Current flows through the coil’s primary windings, building a strong magnetic field

Operation—Dwell

Operation—Ignition As the trigger wheel passes the pickup coil, the changing pickup coil output turns the module’s transistor off Current flow through the primary windings turns off The magnetic field collapses, cutting across the coil’s secondary windings and inducing a high voltage in the secondary windings, causing a spark

Operation—Ignition

Module Connections

Distributor Cap and Rotor Insulated plastic cap that fits over the distributor housing The center terminal carries current to the rotor The outer terminals carry current from the rotor to the spark plugs The rotor carries current from the center terminal to the outer terminals

Distributor Cap and Rotor The rotating rotor feeds high voltage to each spark plug wire

Secondary Wires Carry current produced by the ignition coil Solid wires wire conductor may cause radio interference Resistance wires carbon-impregnated strands and rayon braids about 10,000 ohms per foot prevent radio noise

Clips secure the wires in place Secondary Wires Clips secure the wires in place

Carbon-impregnated strands prevent radio interference Secondary Wires Carbon-impregnated strands prevent radio interference

Spark Plugs Use high voltage to ignite the fuel mixture 4000 to 28,000 volts make the current jump the gap between the electrodes

14 mm is the most common size Seat and Thread Design 14 mm is the most common size

Spark Plugs A. Non-resistor B. Resistor

Spark Plug Heat Range Hot spark plug Cold spark plug long insulator tip self-cleaning action Cold spark plug shorter insulator tip used in high speed engines prevents tip overheating and preignition

Spark Plug Heat Range

Multiple Discharge Ignition Fires the spark plugs more than once on each power stroke Promotes the complete burning of the fuel charge Often used on racing engines

Ignition Timing Spark timing How early or late the spark plugs fire in relation to piston position Changes with speed, load, and temperature

Timing Advance The plugs fire earlier, before top dead center (BTDC) Gives combustion enough time to develop pressure on the power stroke

Timing Retard The plugs fire later Used in low speed, high load conditions Prevents spark knock or ping

Ignition Timing Combustion starts sooner at high rpm to ensure that all fuel burns on power stroke

Advance Mechanisms

Centrifugal Advance At low speeds, small springs hold the advance weights inward The timing is retarded As speed increases, the weights are thrown outward, rotating the distributor cam or trigger wheel against distributor rotation The timing is advanced

Centrifugal Advance

Vacuum Advance At idle, ported vacuum is not present, spark timing is not advanced At part throttle, ported vacuum pulls distributor diaphragm, rotating distributor plate against distributor rotation, spark timing is advanced At full throttle, vacuum drops, retarding timing

Vacuum Advance

Electronic Spark Advance Computer-controlled timing advance Sensors used: crankshaft and camshaft position manifold absolute pressure (load) throttle position intake air and coolant temperatures knock (spark knock)

Electronic Spark Advance

Crankshaft-Triggered Ignition Maintains more precise timing than a distributor-mounted pickup coil no backlash in the distributor drive gear, timing chain, or gears The crankshaft position is “read” off the crankshaft

Crankshaft-Triggered Ignition

Crankshaft Position Sensor Mounted next to the trigger wheel Sends electrical pulses to the computer As the crankshaft turns, the crankshaft position sensor signals the crankshaft’s speed and position If used, the distributor simply transfers high voltage to each spark plug

Distributorless Ignition System Uses multiple coils, a coil control unit, engine sensors, and a computer to operate the spark plugs The coils fire two spark plugs at once one on power stroke one on exhaust stroke

Operation The crankshaft and camshaft position sensors send signals to the coil control unit and the computer The computer signals the coil control unit when to fire the plugs (timing advance) The coil control unit sequences the coils, firing 2 plugs at a time

Operation

Crankshaft Position Sensor This trigger wheel is part of the crankshaft

Distributorless Ignition System Two coils are needed for a four-cylinder engine

Direct Ignition System An ignition coil mounted over each spark plug No conductor strip or plug wire Plugs only fire on the power stroke Plugs do not fire on the exhaust stroke

Direct Ignition System Cover The coil is mounted over a spark plug Ignition coil Boot Spark plug

Direct Ignition System Four coils are needed for a four-cylinder engine

Ionization Knock Sensing Detects abnormal combustion and knocking The computer prompts the coil to send a low-voltage discharge across the spark plug after ignition The quality of combustion affects the resistance across the plug gap by varying the degree of ionization The computer uses feedback from this discharge to identify a knock

Engine Firing Order Sequence in which the spark plugs fire Sometimes cast into the intake manifold Firing order information is used when installing plug wires, installing a distributor, setting ignition timing, and performing other tasks
