What is the purpose of the ignition system and how does it operate?
What will be an ideal response?
The ignition system has the job of creating and distributing a timed spark to the engine's cylinders. Through a process called electromagnetic induction, a voltage of 5,000 to about 100,000 volts (on some of the newer systems) is created. The voltage causes a spark to jump a gap at the spark plugs to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The spark is timed to occur just before the top of the compression stroke. This is called ignition timing.
