Join Philip Austin with Niterra/NGK Pro Training - Powered by Shop Squad, as he shows how the ignition system is not what it used to be. These changes affect the in-cylinder temperature and pressure which require the ignition system to adapt to maintain performance. Today’s technicians are required to stay up-to-date on the latest automotive technologies and diagnostic strategies. Applying these diagnostic strategies will increase the shop’s bottom line by reducing time spent on ignition-related repairs.
Key points covered:
The evolution of spark plug technology:
- Double Fine Electrode (DFE) and Projected Square Platinum Electrode (PSPE®) tip designs.
- What is a “high ignitability” spark plug design?
- Advances in spark plug metallurgy.
Advances in ignition coils and ignition system control:
- “Smart” ignition coils with internal control.
- Confirming an ignition event through ignition coil feedback.
- Changing the diagnostic approach with “smart” coils
Ignition primary waveform analysis:
- Accurately compare cylinder waveforms and identify issues relating to the waveform.
- Develop a diagnostic strategy based on the root cause instead of the effect (MIL) to reduce comebacks and ensure fixing it right the first time
