Vehicle Ignition System
The ignition system creates the spark that ignites fuel and air in a petrol engine. The ignition coil increases 12 volts supplied by the battery to around 20,000 volts. Although older vehicles used a single ignition coil and a mechanical distributor to send the high voltage to each spark plug, most vehicles now have a smaller ignition coil for each cylinder of the engine.
