Ignition

The ignition system in your Ford is what gets it to start when you stick your key in the ignition. It's a complex process that requires a set of parts to work together, which include the ignition coil, distributor, cap, rotors, spark plugs, and wires. The ignition coil, for example, is what helps to take power from the battery and work to help create a spark that ignites the fuel in your vehicle. It works with your spark plugs by sending the current to them, which then causes them to generate a hot spark to ignite a fuel and air mixture. It's important for all parts of the ignition system to be working. Some signs that your Ford ignition system might need repairs include:

- Car failing to start. This is one of the most obvious signs that something is wrong with the ignition. The engine might crank a few times, but the car won't be able to start if the ignition is failing and often will fail because of corrosion on the electrical circuit.

- No noise from your starter. While a dead battery can cause your starter to be silent, sometimes, an ignition problem can cause your starter to do absolutely nothing.
