Before modern coil-on-plug systems, the conventional ignition system relied on a distributor, ignition coil, rotor, and spark plug wires to deliver spark to each cylinder.
๐ Battery supplies power
๐ Ignition switch activates the circuit
โก Ignition coil boosts voltage
๐ Distributor routes spark to each cylinder
๐ฅ Spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture
Understanding the primary and secondary ignition circuits is essential for diagnosing misfires, no-start conditions, and ignition performance issues.
