Are ignition coils and ingition control module the same thing?
no .depending on year model, you may have one coil or one for each cylinder...the ignition control module is an electronic controller that communicates between the computer and the ignition system.... the coil,or coils simply receive 12 volts from the battery and magnify the current before sending it to the spark plugs to ignite the fuel.
Why will your 1996 grand prix will not start has 12 volts at the starter but is not gettig voltage to starter solenoid?
The starter relay is out. Or the ignition module. Or the ignition switch is out. And its the odds in that order. Greatest to least.
What are the signs if an ignition module going out on a 92 Chevy silverado with a 350ci engine it will crank but not fire but when it fires it runs fine?
after truck warms up will be hard to start,module may even start turning white colored make sure you are getting 12 volts to the module from the ignition also good luck
What does the Ignition Coil Resistor do?
On a point ignition system, the resistor will reduce the incoming voltage to the coil from 14 volts when the charging system is active, to about 9 volts. At a 9 volt level the ignition points will survive for a longer time before pitting and burning. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- actually this is for the fact that when you are starting (the starter is running) a car/truck available voltage drops down because of the electrical load from the starter to about 9 volts. this would be a problem if the ignition system (coil and points/ignition module) was set for 12~14 volts as at 9 volts you may have no spark, so they set the voltage at 9 volts all the time and use the resistor or a built in voltage regulator in the ignition module to bring the voltage down when the car is running and give it full voltage (9 volts) directly when the car is starting usually thru a bypass wire or switched connector. the condenser/capacitor is what keeps the points from pitting and burning as fast. and on some cars they did not use a resistor but a resistor wire
Why does the 1993 Chevy ignition control module repeatedly fail?
make sure everything is clean under the cap and there is no way for moisture to get in then check for good engine to body ground and make sure it is getting a full 12 volts while cranking and running good luck
Does anyone have any possible solutions for a 1998 Suburban not firing you Cannot get any plug firing at all you initially thought the fuel pump went out but get nothing even after priming the carbera?
Verify 12 volts to the ignition coil first with the key on. If 12 volts is present there you need the little module that is located with the coil bolted to the intake. If 12 volts is not present there check ignition fuse and relay.
What is ht coil?
its a ignition coil which changes 12 volts of battery to a several thousands volts which is required for spark plug to create an ignition.
Ignition coil output 12 volts?
NO several thousand volts. around 20kv.
What is the function of the ignition coil in the ignition system?
Ignition coil is a transformer type device that transform the 12 volts battery power to 30,000 up to 60,000 volts. The coil is composed of two winding, the primary and secondary winding.

Can your ignition coil stop your car from running while driving?
The coil boosts the 12 volts from your battery to tens of thousands of volts for your spark plugs, if it stops working, the car stops working. It however is controlled by your engine control module using input from things like the crankshaft position sensor. Find the coil pack, there will be thick wires going to each cylinder and several small connectors. Make sure they are all tight, but not while the engine is running, those tens of thousands of volts will sting you.
How many volts does a magnetic control system operate on?
120 volts
