Bill, Most modern ignition systems are migrating to an integral
coil/igniter module rather than a separate igniter near the coil or in the
ECU. The igniter refers to the module that switches the high current on
and off to charge & fire the coil. This was the job done by points
and capacitors back in the dark ages.
Tracy,
Thanks for the info. So the solid state relay in essence is called an
Ignitor. I do a lot of electrical work Tracy, I'm just not an EE. (I'm an ME)
This is one of those situations where the NAME is the bugaboo. Like calling the
capicitors in old automotive apps "condensers".
