I'm not sure what you mean by transformer. A transformer is used to change one voltage to another, and the only transformer in a simple ignition system I can think of would be the coil. Since most cars run on 12 volts delivered from a battery, and that is not nearly enough to ignite a spark in a car's cylinder, the coil raises that voltage to around 50,000.
I've described the transformer in a very basic ignition system. Today's cars use very sophisticated ignition systems using variations of what I just described in order to increase power and give better mileage. By using electronics to shorten the duration of the spark a set of sparkplugs can last 100,000 miles or more and modern cars no longer use "points" that can also wear out. Still, something has to increase that 12 volts to get a good spark.
What else can I help you with?
Does the computer need to be reset after replacing the ignition system?
A computer should not have an ignition system.
What are the symptoms of bad coil packs on a 1988 Chevy Corsica how many are there and how do you replace them?
You need electronic equipment and know how to to diagnoise the ignition system of the new cars.
Why would car need ignition coils?
The ignition coil is the transformer that puts out the voltage required to make a spark jump the points of a spark plug. this in turn lights the petrol which pushed down the piston.
What is the advantageof a transistor ignition system over the traditional ignition system?
Constant voltage delivery Eliminate the need for periodic replacement of points and condensor
Is your nitro RC car broken if you put gas in it?
Most probably, you won't get it to run. Gasoline need a spark to ignite, R/c cars usually rely on another ignition system.
What cars have the same ignition as a 2004 grand am gt?
Need to know if it has a 2.2 L or the 3.4 L engine.
What is dielectric test in transformer?
why need dielectric test for transformer
Would a Danfoss ebi ignition transformer be suitable for a Tesla coil and would it need ballast?
As far as i know, it is Not possible to use a ebi for energizing a usual tesla coil.
What are the common bad transformer symptoms in HVAC systems?
Common bad transformer symptoms in HVAC systems include frequent system cycling, blown fuses, inconsistent heating or cooling, and a humming or buzzing noise coming from the transformer. These issues can indicate a malfunctioning transformer that may need to be replaced.
Why does your Oldsmobile alero hesitate before starting?
you need to re-do the timing of the ignition system. the other possibility is the ignition is worn out and needs to be replaced.
How do you remove ignition from 1995 Toyota Paseo?
You need to specify which parts of the ignition system you intend to remove. You can remove ignition from your vehicle entirely by removing the ignition coil wire from the distributor but I don't think that's the answer your looking for.
Is a car battery standard?
Yes. On modern cars you need a battery at the minimum to start the ignition system. Even in a used car situation no one, dealer or private should be telling you the battery is extra, unless your dealing with a junkyard car.
