Fuel ' Squandered
When Ignition'
S ys tem Fails
Any defect in the ignition
systexn is likely to create
misfire and a resulting in-
complete burning of' the '
fuel., Thus raw gasoline will
end up in the exhaust; both
squandering fuel and cre-
ating pollution.
The role of the ignition
system is to Convert about
10 volts of primary current
from the battery to upwards
of 25,000 volts at the spark
plug firing end.
Common defects that can
lead to misfire include worn
out or fouled spark plugs,
deteriorated plug cables or
'"pouts, distributor or coil
malfunctions.
If any of these compo-
nents aren't 'working right,
it is possible that the,elec-
trical charge provided won't
sufficient to fire one or
ore spark plugs. The air/
uel mixture will not be ig-
nited in affected cylinders.
Sb, not only will gas be
wasted in non -firing cyl-
inders, butyou need to com-
pensate for loss of. power
by feeding more gas to the
functioning cylinders.
If there is a general de-
terioration of the ignition
system, the engine won't
Mart at all (with a result-
ant waste- of fuel trying to
)start the engine) .
