Start-up Right: on the Jeep Ignition Coil

By: John Garett

The first thing, the very first and foremost thing that drivers of any Jeep must realize is this: that start-up failures are often a result of some flaw or another that lies within the Jeep Ignition assembly. For those who cannot profess a comprehensive understanding of the Jeep Ignition System, much less of a passing acquaintance with any of it-of the parts it basically entails, of how it functions of why it's even there to begin with-now is the time to catch up with a number of facts that have long since existed in the known universe. The Jeep Ignition assembly holds the cornucopia of , spark plugs and batteries along with other devices that rest under the Jeep's hood.

This is the system predominantly responsible for providing the spark that ignites the air fuel in the cylinders pf the Jeep's engine. In order for the spark to get to the electrodes of the spark plugs, the 12-volt potential of the electrical system has to be ignited until it reaches a level of about 20,000 volts. This, in turn occurs by way of a circuit that runs from the battery, with one side of it adhering to the chassis and then passing through the ignition switch to the main winding of the coil before it ultimately ends up in the circuit breaker. The high voltage secondary terminal of the coil leads to a distributor that serves as a rotary switch, connecting the coil to each of the wires that hook to the spark plugs, one after the other. Having enough of the basics, one has to have realized by now the necessity, not only of the Jeep Ignition Control System but, much more importantly, of well-kept Jeep Ignition parts like Jeep Ignition Coils, batteries and spark plugs in excellent working condition. Hence, one must always make a concentrated effort to ensure that one's Jeep Ignition Coil, spark plugs and batteries exhibit just such behaviors to avoid car mishaps in the future.
