The ignition cylinder system is mainly responsible for the provision of current to the engine and consumption of fuel at the same time. It has many parts each serving a different function and acting as a carrier of current to the target area which requires it. This mainly occurs by the production of a spark or ignition in the combustion chamber of the cylinder. Without the production of this ignition you can never bring your car to life, because the engines wont start.
First of all you turn the key in to start the system i.e. through a slot provided towards the exterior of the ignition cylinder. The main process taking place in an ignition system is the creation of a spark and its transfer to the distributor via spark plugs. These sparks reaches up to the spark plugs when the piston moves up to the combustion stroke so that fuel consumption can take place simultaneously and both these processes can go hand in hand. The current is first passed through the ignition coil. The ignition coil is an electromagnetic inductor which induces a magnetic field and also causes high voltage built up. The ignition coil consists of primary and secondary windings. The secondary windings are connected to one of the many wires coming from the ignition cylinders spark plugs. The main function served by an ignition coil is the amplification of the current passing through it and after that it is given off to the distributor. The main purpose of the distributor is to allocate this spark to the correct ignition cylinder in required time. When the current is needed, it jumps the gap between the electrodes of the spark plug which creates the necessary ignition required to run the cars engine and direct it towards the cylinder. The ignition timings are also controlled by the determination that which ignition cylinder needs fuel and how much is the cylinders requirement. The cylinders also affect the fuel mileage. In this way the cars engine works by the production of ignition and consumption of fuel by the cylinder.
There is also a distributor less system present in the ignition system of some vehicles. These ignition cylinder system works in two ways; either each cylinder consists of its own ignition coil or two cylinders share a common ignition coil. Both ways the use of a distributor is not needed.
We should always be careful while dealing with the ignition system and fixing it if it becomes defective somehow. The ignition coil is capable of supplying very high voltage output to the ignition system depending upon its type. Some types of coils can give up to 40,000 volts output whereas others meet high demands of over 200,000 volts.
