    This document provides instructions for diagnosing faults in an ignition system. It describes testing the primary circuit by checking the contact breaker points, then the secondary circuit by checking for spark across spark plug gaps and the ignition coil. It involves removing parts like the distributor cap and rotor to check for issues. The procedure is to test for spark first at the spark plug, then across a gap, and if no spark, to check the distributor and ignition coil. Operating procedures include setting RPM and measuring dwell and timing angles with and without vacuum using the provided equipment. Results are to be recorded and the goal is to diagnose any ignition system faults and start the engine.

    Experiment 5 Aim:- Diagnosis of ignition system faults

    APPARATUS REQUIRED: 1. Multimeter 2. Feeler gauge 3. Battery 4. Lamp 5. Screw Driver 6. Spark plug tester and ignition coil tester. PROCEDURE: If the engine does not start after cranking, check for fuel in the fuel system and its faults. If the fuel system is found to be correct, then check the ignition system. TO CHECK PRIMARY CIRCUIT: Remove the distributor cap and take out the rotor. See that the contact breaker points are opening and closing freely. Check the contact breaker gap with a feeler gauge and it should be around 0.35 -0.40 mm.Adjust the gap if necessary. TO CHECK THE SECONDARY CIRCUIT: The major defects in the secondary circuit are likely to occur in spark plug distributor cap and rotor, H.T leads and ignition coil. 1. To spot the fault, remove the H.T lead from one of the spark plug. Place its ends about 10 mm from the engine block. With the ignition on, crank the engine. If the spark jumps across the gap regularly and with good intensity, then the entire secondary circuit up to and including the distributor is working alright and any fault could lie in the spark plug. 2. To check if there is any problem in the spark plug, remove one spark plug from engine and check for any carbon deposit between the electrode gap. If there is any carbon deposit, clean the plug and adjust the electrode gap before using. 3. If there is no carbon deposits, connect H.T lead from the distributor to this spark plug and place the plug on the cylinder block. Now crank the engine and notice the spark from plug. If the plug produces a blue spark of high intensity, the pug is alright and if not, check the plug for correct electrode gap or fit a new plug and check it. If the spark occurs, then the fault is with spark plug. 4. When even placing the H.T lead about 5 mm from the cylinder, if a spark of good intensity is not obtained, then the fault must be either in the distributor or in the coil.

    5. Remove the distributor gap and check for corrosion in the rotor tip and condition of carbon brushes. If there is any fault, change it. If it is alright, then the fault might be with ignition coil. 6. To check the ignition coil, remove it from the vehicle. Connect the positive and negative terminals of ignition coil to an ignition coil tester and the H.T lead is connected to the spark plug. On pressing the cut-off button in the tester, if a blue spark of good intensity jumps across the spark plug, then the coil is in good condition. If not, replace the coil with a new one. OPERATING PROCEDURE: 1. Give connections as detailed in the assembly of parts. Check all the connections are given properly. 2. Using the knob in D.C controller unit, set the rpm to the idle (800 rpm) by adjusting the knob and rpm can be measured in the display provided in the timing light. 3. Measure the timing angle (Mark on the disc must match with the pointer on the cabinet) by adjusting knob provided in the timing light. Press the MODE switch to measure the dwell angle and note the values in the tabular column. (A sample tabular column is attached). 4. Increase the rpm with an increment of 100 every time and measure the timing angle and dwell angle using the step-3. 5. Using the same procedure using the vacuum pump connected, measure the dwell and timing angle. Testing at 800, 900, 1000, 1500 RPMs are good speed to test the distributor and always run the test From slower to higher RPM to get the better results. CAUTION: Hold the secondary cable with insulated pliers made up of non conductive material. Do not metal pliers with insulated handles. . RESULT: Thus the fault in the ignition system is diagnosed and the engine is started.
