Spark plugs don't produce high voltage they just make sparks with high voltage. The high voltage in a car is produced by running the low voltage of a car through a coil and condenser a distributor defines exactly when the spark happens to light up the fuel in the cylinder

Does an engine's distributor deliver gas to the cylinders?

No, the Distributor delivers high-voltage electricity to the Spark Plugs.


What is a car coil?

The coil is a high voltage transformer, used to step up battery voltage to 50,000 volts to fire the spark plugs.


Where source and what parts of high voltage in ignition system of car?

The coil generates the high voltage charge which is then distributed to the spark plugs by the rotor arm in the distributor cap.


What are the four basic part of ignation system?

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.


How do you change spark plugs 2005 Camry v6?

How do spark plugs get their energy?

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.


What is the function of a car Distributor?

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.


Can old spark plugs fry the ignition and coils and cause it not to start when car is running great?

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.


Can ignition coil cause an engine to not start?

Yes, a faulty ignition coil can prevent an engine from starting. The ignition coil is responsible for converting battery voltage into the high voltage needed to create a spark at the spark plugs. If the coil is malfunctioning, it may not produce the necessary spark, leading to misfires or a complete failure to start the engine. Other components may also contribute to starting issues, but a defective ignition coil is a common culprit.


When you change the spark plugs in a 06 cobalt do you have change the wires?

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.
