The ignition control module is a crucial component of a vehicle's ignition system. It is a control unit responsible for regulating the ignition timing and generating sparks to ignite the fuel-air ...

Essentially, a multi-cylinder engine is a collection of individualengines operating at different combustion and mechanical efficiencies.If we can optimize the power output from each one, the overall ...

Welcome back for Part 2 of tune-up tips for your older Corvette. Last time we talked about tricks of the trade when setting points. This month we will talk about setting ignition timing. The most ...

Ignition timing is like seasoning: some is good, but too much ruins the results. Bumping up the ignition timing on pushrod 5.0s is a time-honored trick to wake up the under-hood lump. The EFI system ...

Older vehicles with distributor-based ignition systems need their timing checked on a regular basis, otherwise you can have a host of problems. Starting becomes difficult, idling will be rough, ...

So you're wondering what's the big deal with "digital," are you? Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past decade, almost everything you hear about is new, improved, and digital. The "old ...

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 ...

underway before tdc is reached. This gives a maximum cylinder pressure (and work output). This ignition timingcondition is about 20 degrees of crank rotation before tdc, i.e. 20 degrees btdc. From, ...

When it comes to the many variables of combustion inside an engine, engineers measure the timing of key events in degrees of crankshaft rotation, a relative frame of reference that remains constant ...

“Runs good!” You’ve seen that a lot of times looking at Craigslist ads for cars and motorcycles, especially older ones. But what does that even mean? Why wouldn’t it “run good,” anyways Shouldn’t ...
