The main difference between electronic ignition systems
and their predecessors is the elimination of the breaker
points in favor of a "wheel," which directs voltage to the
spark plugs. Here, a service technician tests the distributor
on an American Motors engine. This innovation in spark
ignition, however, contrary to what many motorists believe,
is not maintenance-free. Periodic care and checking of this
system remains as important as it was on breaker point
systems.
Electronic ignition still
requires periodic tune-up
Electronic ignition sys-
tems standard equipment on
most late model cars, were
designed to help keep emis-
sions low. But they still re-
quire periodic maintenance,
according to Champion
Spark Plug Company.
Largely due to require-
ments stemming from emis-
sions control, the car makers
began using the electronic
ignition systems to provide
more voltage to fire a wider-
gapped spark plug.
The new systems elimi-
nate breaker points and con-
densers and replace them
with magnetic components
that trigger the system for
secondary voltage. However,-
many of the componefits of
the electronic system are the
same as in conventional igni-
tions and maintenance re-
quirements are not too dis-
similar, Champion says.
' The condition Of, the coil,
distributor cap • and rotor
must still be checked. Cor-
rect timing is critical to prop-
er operation. Spark plugs
are still subject to fouling
-from cpntaminent present in
the combustion process such
as carbon, calcium, barium,
etc. And ignition wiring can
still deteriorate or suffer
damage, causing misfire.
Therefore, an annual ig-
nition system service is still
recommended by Champion,
electronic system or not.
