Diesel fuel injection injects fuel into air that is hot enough to ignite the fuel.
Spark ignition takes a fuel air mixture mixed and then drawn into the cylinder before ignition, then ignites with an electric spark.

What is the basic different between spark ignition in diesel engine?
Diesel Engines don't have spark ignition. Diesels compress the air in the combustion chamber until it's hot enough that the fuel will self ignite on injection. Some diesels have glow rods to enable then to achieve ignition at slightly lower compression, making them run a bit smoother. Spark ignition, as in a gasoline engine is when you haven't got enough compression for self-ignition, so you add a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture instead.
Truck will not start?
Dead battery, defective ignition switch, defective starter, loose or corroded wiring. Not to mention no spark, no fuel, no fuel/air mix, no injection.
How do emissions differ in spark ignition and compression ignition?
Drastically because they use two different types of fuel.
What is different with the motors these days from the old days?
Electronic fuel injection, Breakerless/electronic ignition (no points),
What would cause a car to be sluggish?
spark plugs need changing- ignition wires could be changed- put octane boost into your gas, or fuel injection cleaner.
Does an mpfi engine replace spark plug?
No. Spark plugs remain in Petrol engines. MPFI stands for Multi Point Fuel Injection, thus replacing the carburetor with injectors. Petrol engines need a source for ignition unlike Diesel engines, where the ignition happens due to compression.
What does 'sidi' stand for?
SIDI in automotive, stands for "Spark-Ignition Direct-Injection" which is a type engine by GM. An example is Cadillac CTS 3.6 SIDI. It produces more horsepower and torque than a PFI engine (Port Fuel Injection).
What is ignition delay?
The length of time or number of degrees of crankshaft rotation between the beginning of injection and ignition of the fuel.
Does a 2007 Yamaha vstar 1100 custom have fuel injection or electronic ignition?
no
What is preignition of fuel?
Pre-ignition of fuel that occurs in a spark-ignition engine is when the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder ignites before the spark plug actually fires. It can be initiated from a hot spot such as in the combustion chamber.
What are the requirments for combustion?
energy(fuel), oxygen and heat
Where are the spark plugs '02 f150 5.4?
The plugs are located on the inboard side of the cylinder head near the intake manifold, under or near the fuel injection rails. You do not have spark plug wires, but rather 8 separate ignition coils that sit on top of the spark plugs.
