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
For a 1972 Datsun pickup truck, the ignition coil is typically connected to the ignition switch and the resistor. The resistor is used to reduce the voltage supplied to the coil, ensuring optimal performance and preventing overheating. Generally, the primary wire from the ignition switch connects to one terminal of the resistor, while the other terminal connects to the positive side of the ignition coil. The negative terminal of the coil connects to the distributor or ignition points for spark generation.
did you have your ignition coil replaced? the signs are that the ignition coil is overheating thus you are able to restart after an hour, when the coil cools. also check if your ignition coil has a resistor. if it has, have it checked for continuity. did you have your ignition coil replaced? the signs are that the ignition coil is overheating thus you are able to restart after an hour, when the coil cools. also check if your ignition coil has a resistor. if it has, have it checked for continuity.
To install a resistor on a 2004 Yamaha R6 ignition, first, locate the ignition coil wires. Disconnect the battery to ensure safety, then cut the ignition wire where you want to install the resistor. Connect one end of the resistor to the cut wire leading to the ignition coil and the other end to the wire leading to the ignition switch, ensuring secure connections with solder or connectors. Finally, reassemble everything, reconnect the battery, and test the ignition system.
The resistor bypass in the ignition circuit is used when starting the engine. It bypasses the resistor to provide full battery voltage to the ignition coil, ensuring a strong spark for a quick and reliable engine start. Once the engine is running, the bypass is no longer needed and the resistor is re-engaged to limit the voltage to the ignition coil for normal operation.
Next time you replace the coil, test and if necessary replace the resistor.
ballast resistor should be on the firewall under the hood. just follow the wires from the coil and you will find it
Sometimes a resistor is installed in spark plug wire as a supressor to reduce radio static interference
In a 1994 Jeep, the ballast resistor is typically located in the engine compartment, mounted to the firewall or near the ignition coil. It is part of the ignition system and helps regulate voltage to the ignition coil, ensuring proper engine operation. If you're having trouble locating it, consult the vehicle's service manual for more specific guidance.
It does not have an ignition ballast resistor.It does not have an ignition ballast resistor.
yes its located on the p/s firewall next to the ignition coil
Yes, the Ford 390 engine typically uses an ignition ballast resistor, especially in models equipped with a conventional ignition system. The ballast resistor helps to reduce the voltage to the ignition coil during normal operation, providing a lower voltage for better control and longer coil life. However, some later models or modifications may not use one, so it's always best to check the specific setup for the vehicle in question.
An ignition coil is an coil that is used to change the volts in a battery to ignite the spark in the spark plug. This is necessary to get the engine to start up and the car to run.
