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.
What is the function of 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.

What would cause the ignition coil to keen blow 4 new?
Too much voltage an ignition coil does not run on 12 volts it is stepped down
How many volts are needed to make an ignition coil work on an 85 F150 with a 4.9 engine?
I believe is 12 to 14 volts.
Why does your 79 cj only have 10 volts at the coil while running?
The ignition only needs 12 volts for starting. You`re wiring harness has a resistance wire or ballast resistor to drop the voltage to keep the ignition coil from burning up.
Do you replace the coil from a 6 volt to a 12 volt when converting from 6 volt to a 12 volt system?
Yes. Since the coil is run at full voltage when starting 12 volts may be too much for a 6 volt ignition coil. It would be at about 8 volts when running. There is a starting resistor.
How can you make a spark plug spark with a battery and ignition coil?
You apply 12 volts to the coil primary and then release it . The electricity will go through the secondary coil and spark the spark pug.
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 current ignition coil on cars gives out?
The ignition coil on a car ranges between 3 and 5 amps, which it gets from a 12 volt battery. The battery produces DC current though the coil The coil can transform the low voltage of the batter to thousands of volts that are needed to start the car.
Is the ignition coil resistor necessary?
Yes definitely it is necessary because when u crank the engine at that time ignition coil is in cold position so at that time complete 12 volts bypasses the ballast resistor but when u releases the key from cranking position so the key comes to the ignition position at that position 12 volt of battery goes through the resistor that may be approximately 9 volt because when engine starts the coil temperature increases and there is no need of 12 volts
How do you check an ignition coil from a 5hp Briggs and Stratton engine?
An ignition coil is simply a high voltage transformer. It takes low voltage (12 volts)and turns it into high voltage (aprox 30,000-60-000 volts). The low voltage input is called the primary side, and the high voltage output is called the secondary side. Most cars have a constant 12 volts positive going to one of the primary inputs, and the ignition system provides a switched ground to the other input on the primary, that pulses on and off as the engine is turning. This on/off ground pulse provides signal for a spark that comes out of the secondary side. You can use a 12 volt test light on the primary side. First, turn the ignition key to the "on" position. Check for 12 volts of power to the input wires at the coil. These will be the small diameter wires, not the spark plug wire. You should see you test light light up on both wires. The reason is that you are seeing 12 volts input on one wire, and you are seeing that same 12 volts coming through the coil windings, and out the other side. Now, have someone crank the car over. You should now see, with the engine being cranked, 12 volts steady power on one wire, and a repeating on/off ground signal ("flicker") on the other input wire. If you are missing either the power, or the switched ground, then you need to see what is wrong in the ignition system. The coil is likely ok. But if you have power to one wire, and a switched on/off ground signal to the other wire, with the engine being cranked, and the coil is not emitting a spark from the output side, then you have a bad coil.
