Genuine Ford Ignition Parts

You probably don't spend a lot of time thinking about your ignition, at least not when it's working right. After all, for you it's a pretty simple process. You put your key in the ignition switch and turn it. If you have a newer vehicle, you may not even have to do that. Instead, you just press the start button. However, there really is a lot more to it than that.

How Your Ignition Works

When you turn the key or press that button, the battery, starter solenoid, and ignition coil team up to send an electric charge to the spark plugs. The plugs collect that charge and use it to kindle the air-and-fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber. As a result, the starter motor cranks, the pistons start pumping, and your engine roars to life.

How to Spot a Failing Ignition

Even the best ignition parts can eventually go bad, though. If you notice any of the following signs, connect a code reader to determine if your ignition is the source of the trouble:

• Your dashboard lights flicker
• You have trouble starting your vehicle
• The starter motor doesn't engage
• You can't turn the ignition key

If your ignition is going bad, you'll want to replace it as soon as possible. When you do so, make sure to use the best ignition components you can.
