ignition system
An ignition system in a vehicle provides the electrical spark needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine's cylinders. It consists of components like a battery, ignition coil, distributor, and spark plugs. When you turn the ignition key, the system generates a high-voltage current that creates a spark at the spark plugs. This spark ignites the fuel mixture, causing combustion that powers the engine. The ignition system ensures the correct timing and strength of the spark for smooth engine operation and efficient fuel use.
