A distributor reluctor, also known as a reluctor wheel or trigger wheel, is a component in an ignition system that helps determine the position of the engine's crankshaft or camshaft. It typically consists of a series of notches or teeth that pass by a pickup sensor, generating a signal that informs the ignition control module when to fire the spark plugs. This precise timing is crucial for optimal engine performance and efficiency. Reluctors are commonly found in both traditional distributors and modern distributor-less ignition systems (DIS).

How is voltage induced in the distributor pickup coil as the reluctor high point approaches alignment with the pickup coil?
The coil charges with electricity, and as the reluctor hits the high point, it releases all the energy at once.
How do you remove the distributor pick up coil?
Can be done with the distributor installed-the reluctor is held on by a roll pin that runs the length of it. Usually you can remove the reluctor with a couple of screwdrivers or a battery terminal puller. A few other clips and the pickup assembly comes right off.... Good luck with the rest of it

Where do you put distributor pickup assembly?
The distributor pickup assembly is typically located inside the distributor housing, where it senses the position of the rotor. It is mounted near the reluctor wheel, which spins with the engine, allowing the pickup to generate a signal for the ignition system. In some modern engines, this assembly may be integrated into the ignition coil. Proper installation ensures accurate timing for ignition.
Does a 1996 Geo Metro have a camshaft sensor?
Yes, in fact it does. It is a hall-effect sensor which consists of a reluctor wheel and a pick-up coil inside the distributor. The ECM uses this sensor to decide when and how much to open the injector and also to adjusting timing/dwell electronically. -MechanicMatt
Are GM 6 cylinder engine hei distributors interchangeable with GM 8cylinder engines by simply changing caps?
No The reluctor ring, and the piece that sticks into the engine will be different except on the 4.3 engine. Then only the reluctor ring will be wrong.
Cannot get spark to spark plugs?
It would be helpful to know what year vehicle you have as there are two different ignition systems used on the Chevy Celebrity. Possible reasons for not getting spark in a distributor equipped engine: 1982 to 1986 Distributor cap or rotor defective Reluctor failed Pickup coil failure Ignition module failed wiring or plug in connections loose corroded or failed Coil failed, or coil wire to distributor failed No power to the distributor or coil Possible reasons for not getting spark in a distributor less system: 1987 to 1990 Failed crankshaft position sensor Failed ignition module Failure in wiring or engine computer
Dodge Ignition pickup circuit to reluctor gap?
Depends on year usually .06 to .08
Why won't my 1985 Chevy Celebrity start it cranks but no spark?
There are a number of possible reasons your 85 Chevy Celebrity has no spark. A few possibilities include: Defective Distributor Cap Defective Rotor Failed ignition module Failed coil Failed reluctor Worn out distributor Bad spark plug wires Defective engine control module (computer) Wiring problems including broken wires or connectors unpluged also dirty or fouled connections
How voltage is induced in a permanent magnet pickup coil as the reluctor approaches alignment with the pickup coil.?
The Hall effect.
What terms have the same meaning as reluctor wheel?
The terms "reluctor wheel" can also be referred to as "tone ring" or "trigger wheel." These components are used in automotive applications to generate signals for crankshaft or camshaft position sensing. They typically consist of a toothed or notched wheel that interacts with a sensor to provide timing information to the engine control unit.
Where is the speed sensor in a 1997 ford ranger?
its a pickup sensor on the rear of gearbox and runs of a reluctor ring in the box same as a abs sensor ring
