Ignition systems questions with
complete solutions
Ignition system - correct answer ✔✔ Ignites air fuel mixture
Primary circuits - correct answer ✔✔ Operates on low or alternator voltage Normally below
battery voltage (12.6) volts uses conventional wires (smaller size)
battery - correct answer ✔✔ Provides power for system
Ignition Switch - correct answer ✔✔ Allows driver to turn ignition and engine on and off.
Ignition coil - correct answer ✔✔ Changes battery voltage into 30,000 volts or more, potentially
up to 60,000 Short bursts of high voltage.
Switching Device - correct answer ✔✔ Mechanical or electronic switch that operates ignition
coil. Turns current on and off going to the ignition coil.
Coventional distributor - correct answer ✔✔ 1 coil for all cylinders
Distributorless ignition system - correct answer ✔✔ Fires 2 cylinders at the same time (wasted
spark), no distributor, less moving parts.
Distributor drives - correct answer ✔✔ Method used to rotate the distributor shaft to match the
camshaft RPM
