11energy ignition system — See high energy ignition system high energy ignition system with electronic spark timing …
12grid-controlled ignition system — A microprocessor controlled ignition system with electronic ignition timing by means of an ignition map stored in the control unit memory …
13high energy ignition system — (HEI) An ignition system which provides more ignition power (higher voltage at higher amperage) than normal systems; a typical HEI includes an electronic control unit and magnetic pick up in combination with mechanical ignition timing …
14Integrated Direct Ignition System — (IDI) A distributorless ignition system consisting of two separate ignition coils, an ignition module, a secondary conductor housing mounted to an aluminum cover plate, a crankshaft sensor, and electronic spark timing …
15inductive ignition system — An ignition system where the primary energy is stored in an inductor or an ignition coil …
16continuous-duty ignition system — A secondary ignition system in a gas turbine engine in which one igniter plug keeps firing continuously. The system is used on takeoff and landing and when flying in weather conditions that are conducive to flameout …
17Continuous AC Ignition System — Abbreviated CACIS. An ignition system where a high energy alternating current arc burns for the entire power stroke. In this system, the spark plugs don t erode as quickly and the air/fuel mixture is more completely burned. Thus there is no need… …
18electronic ignition system — An ignition system using electronic switching devices to assist or eliminate the mechanical breaker points. There are three basic electronic ignitions: contact controlled (the breaker points are retained but merely serve to trigger a transistor… …
19AC Ignition System — See continuous AC Ignition System …
20ballast ignition system — An ignition system which uses a ballast resistor connected in series with the coil primary winding and which is bypassed when the starter is engaged so that the spark is more efficient under cold weather starting …
