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 ...

No Ford engine project is complete without a properly functioning ignition system. This system has the important job of delivering the spark to the required cylinder at precisely the right time. Any ...

As long as there have been internal combustion engines, there has been a need for an ignition system to ignite the air and fuel mixture in the cylinders. From the earliest days of automotive ignitions ...

This ignition coil driver is a HOT one! From my recollection, it delivers a nastier spark than the legendary Ford Model T ignition coil. The circuit uses an inverted 555 oscillator that is coupled to ...

Since 1914 auto makers have used the Kettering or inductive ignition system: a battery, transformer (coil), a cam-driven mechanical switch (breaker points), a distributor and spark plugs. The system ...

Sudden misfires feel like the engine just lost its rhythm, yet the real drama often starts inside a failing coil pack. When ignition coils break down under heat, vibration, or age, they can turn a ...

Automotive ignitions systems have seen many transitions over the years. Historically, the designs have matured from a magneto to today’s coil-over-spark plug designs. The progression follows the ...

For the average beginner in the fine art of auto mechanics, and some old-timers as well, installing and wiring a stock eight-cylinder ignition distributor can sometimes be quite a chore, and when he ...
