No, the Distributor delivers high-voltage electricity to the Spark Plugs.
The coil is a high voltage transformer, used to step up battery voltage to 50,000 volts to fire the spark plugs.
The four basic parts of an ignition system are the ignition coil, distributor, spark plugs, and the battery. The ignition coil generates high voltage to ignite the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. The distributor distributes the high voltage to the correct spark plug at the right time. Spark plugs then produce the spark to ignite the air/fuel mixture in each cylinder. The battery provides the electrical power to the ignition system.
The coil generates the high voltage charge which is then distributed to the spark plugs by the rotor arm in the distributor cap.
remove the high voltage wires that connect to the top of the plug. take a spark plug socket, or a regular socket if you don't care and take out the plugs
Provides a high voltage to the spark-plugs so that the fuel ignites in the cylinders.
AC Delco factory platinum spark plugs. GM uses very high-voltage ignition system that burn out other non-OEM brand spark plugs in very short order.
Spark plugs receive electrical power from the ignition system. This uses a transformer (the coil) to change 12 v power to several thousands of volts. This high voltage current is carried to the plugs by the plug wires. When the electricity jumps the gap between the electrodes of the plug, it makes a spark.
The distributor send high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plugs. It ensures that they fire at the correct time and in the correct order.
Old spark plugs have nothing to do with frying the ignition coil. the coils secondary voltage creates a high voltage that jumps the gap (insulated part that attaches to plug and plug ground) it does not back up current to burn out a coil.
Replacing Spark Plug High Voltage WiresNO, not necessarily. Spark plug wires only need to be replaced maybe once or twice in the life of a vehicle, IF THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PHYSICALLY DAMAGED OR ABUSED.Therefore, it is normally not necessary to replace the plug wires when replacing the plugs.
Fire refers to spark in an internal combustion engine. When a vehicle's ignition switch is on, direct current voltage from the battery passes through wires to the coil which amplifies the voltage and the distributor passes this high energy to the spark plugs at the engine cylinders at a precise time as the piston approaches the top of its compression stroke. The spark plug has gap between its electrode and its grounded body. When the electricity jumps this gap, it makes a spark. A defect in any of these electrical components can cause the spark plug to fail to produce the required spark.
