25. TYPES OF ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
11/24/2020 16MT407 - Theory of Automobile Engineering 25
SPARK ADVANCE MECHANISM: NEED
Ignition begins at the end of the
compression stroke in the combustion
chamber at an appropriate time –
Ignition Time
If the spark occurs too early or too late
in the engine cycle, it results in
excessive vibration – Knocking
Also affects engine power, Torque,
Fuel economy, Engine life
So ignition should be occurs at exact
time in the cylinder.
26. TYPES OF ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
11/24/2020 16MT407 - Theory of Automobile Engineering 26
SPARK ADVANCE MECHANISM: NEED
At the end of compression stroke,

electronics to control the timing
precisely & accurately.

Centrifugal Governor
Advance Mechanism:
It is used to regulate the
ignition timing in response to
the engine rpm.
When the engine is running
the distributor shaft and
weight assembly rotate.
As the engine speed
increases, the two weights
moves outwards from the
centrifugal force, turning the
breaker cam in advance
direction
28. TYPES OF ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
11/24/2020 16MT407 - Theory of Automobile Engineering 28
Centrifugal Governor
Advance Mechanism:
Under this condition, the
quantity of mixed air
entering the cylinder is
reduced.
Set the air fuel mixture as
lean – Lean mixture
This causes it to burn slowly
So spark advance is required
for proper combustion
29. TYPES OF ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
11/24/2020 16MT407 - Theory of Automobile Engineering 29
Centrifugal Governor Advance
Mechanism:
This results in cam lobes on the breaker
cam to contact the rubbing block on the
contact set earlier. This will cause the
early spark on spark plug.
The maximum advance can limit by
stopper pin
Stopper
Pin
30. TYPES OF ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
11/24/2020 16MT407 - Theory of Automobile Engineering 30
Vacuum advance mechanism:
During light load in Engine, The Air/Fuel Mixture
drawn inside combustion chamber is very small.
So high vacuum is developed in the intake
manifold.
It may be noted that inertia force of the
incoming gases to expel the burnt gases
becomes weak, allowing the mixture to diluted
with residual gas.
It means mixes with reaming gas in the
combustion chamber
Results in power combustion
So the engine vacuum is used to provide earlier
ignition in combustion chamber.
31. TYPES OF ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
11/24/2020 16MT407 - Theory of Automobile Engineering 31
Vacuum advance mechanism:
Idle condition No vacuum at
