Ignition

There's a complex series of steps required for getting your Ford's engine to run. We often take this for granted when we get in our vehicles. A lot happens when you go to start the engine. Your Ford's ignition is what handles the entire process, and the simple turn of a key or push of a button does it all. For an engine to run, a combination of air and fuel have to be ignited during the combustion process. A car's ignition system includes all the parts that are involved in igniting this fuel/air mixture. The role of this system is to produce an extremely high voltage from the car battery and then relay it to the spark plugs, which ignite the mixture. Regardless of what type of ignition system your vehicle has, you need it to work. Worn out ignition components can cause your vehicle to have a hard time starting. Other signs of a failing ignition system can include frequent misfires of the engine or rough idling. You also might experience fluctuations in power or problems accelerating.
