Ignition Coil - IGCAn electrical transformer that increases the battery voltage to a high tension capable of arcing across the gap of spark plug electrodes. |
Ignition DistributorA component in the ignition system that houses the primary circuit switching device and the secondary circuit distribution components. |
Ignition LagA short delay after injection before the fuel ignites. |
Ignition ModuleThe electronic unit that switches the ignition coil on and off in response to a signal from a pulse generator. |
Ignition SwitchThe engine ignition and vehicle electrical circuits control switch used by the driver to start and stop the engine. |
Ignition TimingThe static and dynamic settings of the ignition distributor or in the engine control module (ECM) that control the ignition coil secondary circuit output and spark for starting the combustion process in the engine. |
IlluminationLighting up, making bright. |
IMAIntegrated Motor Assist is Honda's term for their hybrid propulsion system. This includes the electric motor/generator, 144v battery pack, controlling electronics and the wiring that connects them all together. ISG or ISA is used by some manufacturers, Integrated Starter Generator or Alternator. |
ImmediatelyTaking place without delay. |
Immiscible (non-miscible)Incapable of mixing in or blending with other components. |
