Throughout this site we use many technical terms, and given the breadth of readership our site enjoys, sometimes we are remiss and incorrectly assume everyone knows what we are referring to. For those that do not, here are some explanations of the technical terms use. |
Ignition
The initiation of combustion of the fuel or air/fuel mixture in the engine. Usually, however, refers to the electrical system which produces a spark in the combustion chamber to ignite the air fuel mixture. Thus ignition switch, ignition coil and ignition timing. |
