Hinckley Triumph motorcycle owners have been complaining about ignition coil failures since, well, probably since the first Bloor Triumph sputtered off the assembly line. This is Part 1 of this ...

Hinckley Triumph motorcycle owners have been complaining about ignition coil failures. In Triumph Ignition Coil Replacement Part 1 of this two-part series, we described a coil replacement on a Triumph ...

One of the main differences in regular maintenance between a gasoline and a diesel-powered car is replacing the spark plugs. While diesel engines rely on compression to create ignition, and thus ...

The ignition coils in your car provide the high voltage electrical current that allows your spark plug to create its spark. These parts are humble looking, and they make use of relatively simple ...

Just like spark plugs, ignition coils can wear down and become faulty over time. There are many common signs that an ignition coil is getting bad, but one obvious sign is an engine misfire, typically ...

If your Mercedes is running rough, shaking, or flashing the check engine light, a failing ignition coil could be the culprit. With the right tools, many owners can replace coils themselves in under an ...

Ignition coils play a crucial role in a vehicle’s ignition system. They serve to convert the battery’s low voltage into the high voltage necessary to fire the spark plugs. If there’s any malfunction ...

"It's not a heap, dad. It's a classic." That's harder to justify when your classic muscle car won't start. Nothing like a high-compression V8 combined with a battery that hasn't seen a charge for a ...

A battery in a traditional car cannot directly create engine spark. It’s only rated at 12 volts, after all, so it needs a little help boosting the signal to the spark plugs. To make that happen, a car ...

The ignition coil in C1, C2, and early C3 Corvettes is truly an amazing little device. An ignition coil is a type of pulse transformer that multiplies the low voltage received from the battery or ...

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 ...

A windings road:It all starts with the concepts of inductance and electromagnetism. Inside an ignition coil there are two sets of wire windings (aka coils, that's why it's called a "coil," get it?).
