What Is Electronic Ignition System?Why Electronic Ignition System Adopted?Components of Electronic Ignition SystemWorking of Electronic Ignition SystemAdvantagesDisadvantagesApplicationClosing It UpThe above figure shows you a simplified diagram of an electronic ignition system. In the electronic ignition system, a timer is employed in the distributor of the electronic ignition system. The timer sends the electrical pulses to an electric control unit (ECU) which switches off the flow of current to the primary winding. As a result, a high volt...See more on theengineerspost ST[PDF]
