Ignition timing

Ignition timing refers to the precise moment in an engine’s cycle when the spark plug fires to ignite the air-fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber. Proper ignition timing is crucial for optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control. Adjusting ignition timing can affect power output, engine smoothness, and overall drivability. Understanding ignition timing helps automotive enthusiasts and mechanics fine-tune engines for better performance and longevity.
