Videos like this make RUclips a valuable source of information. Well done sir and best wishes to you.
keep posting more. This helped me understand a lot for my automotive electrical class.
Thanks for posting such a great video! This is by far the best instructional video I’ve ever seen RUclips or anywhere else. Very in depth and informative, very professional, and at just the right speed. I will definitely be looking for more of your videos. You’re an excellent teacher!
This is fantastic, I would love to see more of these tutorials from you on the different aspects of an engine and all other systems in a car. I've shared your videos with all my car fanatics here in Ireland.
Pretty good visual to someone learning the information on paper only. ❤ thanks.
A very interesting and highly informative lecture. thanks
The best explanation on ignition I have seen yet !!! thank you !!!
As a automotive tech student studying the ignition system basics this video explained the ignition system better than the book we use.
Hey Thanks Man !! I Was Having An Exam On This Ignition System And You Helped Me !!!
thank you, 74 dodge dart. really helped me understand path of current in which I needed help in.
Great job Ben..thanks for helping people.
I learned more on this video then a semester class about cars in my school! Great video and Thanks for uploading it
this the best and very simple to understand explanation I saw
Thank you, very well explained
nice presentation... keep it up!!!! cant wait to see more of your videos.
I'm restoring an old car, 56'. Thanks for the easy to understand principals.
This was pretty cool and you just mentioned what they been explaining to us in my automotive mechanics school for the pass 2 weeks in 7 minutes i can wait till we move on to the next thing
By far the most explained video
Nice video! People should watch this since it explains the basic system in vehicle ignition in a manner in which you understand it.
good explanation with exact components. please keep posting more..
I don't know Why I got into a $30k debt with UTI when I could've just learned everything from you Ben, on RUclips...
Thank you soo much, been looking for a good video to explain how to wire a distributor. (y)
An excellent tutorial - thank you.
Absolutly Excellent, way to go....
great video i have a 1969 vw beetle your video help me a lot.
Hi bro, very simply you made us understand how the ignition system work. suberb. Truly appreciate.
Greatly helpful video. Thanks
Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing :)
thank you i have a test on this tomorrow it really helped
did u do good on your test?

Thank you so much sir this is very helpful.
4:42 LOL!!! Great video and teaching skills man!
00iop
Great video! really helped
you should make a video more in depth with the old toyota motor. i have that same motor in my AE86 and im having trouble with the ignition system. your video really really helped me. keep doing what your doing bro! your awesome. definitely subscribing!
No no, he should make a video more in depth with the older mopar motor, because that's what I have and I never take anyone else into consideration!
sir wonderful lecture thank you
This was a damn good video, thanks!
The tips thing just spooked me a few times.😅
Thank you !
Nice explained. Blessings.
simple & clear
Excellent learning
cool vid simple yet informative
very nice video
More of this stuff!
good work man ....
fantastic
good work keep it up
Thank you
The old CB points system was ingeniously marvelous. Kudos to the person who thought it up.
Nice one
Great vid ben¡!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing knowledge sir
Very precise
distributor to camshaft and starter to crankshaft
Correct if wrong pls
great info!!!!!!
that helped me a lot ..thanks :)
excellent
Nice vid
Good teaching. TY this helps me in my course for Engine Performance. Are the Cam sensors also called Hall Effect Switches?
Thanks Ben
nice video
great technologies we ask for more...
Thanks that's amazing good channel
thanks for the lesson master. crazy how they had the idea to give a coil for every plug .. im use to only having one main coil, my plugs have to share >;)
now that explains ... i did 3 years of mechanic study but never seen of heard about the modern one ... so thats why i asked =D tanks caranddriver !!!
Your video helped me troubleshoot a fifty year old forklift with no spark . I guess the wire from the key was shorted , when I checked for voltage at the coil during cranking it was only getting 2-3 volts . I ran hot wire from the battery and got spark . thanks !
Thanks a lot
Thank you.
Well explained ✌️🇯🇲 bless up
Excuse me! Bad expliand!!!!!!!@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mr Ben. I have a question to ask you, how about the fuel injector system works? is it needs electric current to make it spray out fuel or what?
Thanx man that was good and clear.plz help me understand how did you wire all of that please.from battery to where and where?
It looks like a great video, thanks for your explanation about the engine distribution system but if i have in my car the distributor cap only without the breaking points and the condenser where the coil have an i/p of 4 points and the normal secondary o/p>>>>what does that mean and how it works?
Thank you so much. You are an excellent teacher. If you please can you tell me how many sensors are there in Toyota 1993 car? And what causes a car to hard start?
Good man
One other mention is the Distribution cap o-ring gasket. The video mentions a stumbling or low power issue as a result of water and or moisture in the cap and or the wires/plugs. If you can’t replace the o ring due to size and vintage you can get Permatex RTV sealant and carefully craft your own gasket o ring for you distributor cap just make sure it’s neat with no RTV getting into the points/internals of the cap/rotor.
Oh its nothing against you personally. I speak out against anyone that I feel is giving miss information. I have been actively in the business my entire adult life. Educated in the field as often as I could and a Master Auto Tech for about 25 years. I have been in position to educate many an up and coming technician throughout my career. Physical disaster struck me and now I can only educate from this computer. Things are a changing though.
Thats a nice clean 4age 20v you have there
How do you get the modern coil pack to fire straight off the battery or does the computer sen a different voltage
Sir.....more please
thanks you just help me with my problems
Thanks very much sr l really enjoyed the lesson. How can I join you when you on.
I think he described it in conventional electrical terms. Even though the battery has electron flow from Negative to Positive, early scientists believed it was the opposite. Even today electronic diagrams show this convention of a positive charge flowing.
thankyou
Awesome...learned a lot from this video. I have a 2002 f150. Check engine light is on. Codes mark misfire and oxygen sensors failing. Now may the problem be with the spark plugs and coil or with the catalytic converters? Because I believe it's missing them but I need to confirm that.
Great job ...I have a question: if you put a high voltage diode to the output of the ignition coil it will improve the ignition and the function of the engine?
could you talk more about the reluctor and different types of triggering devices?
Thanks.
Thanks good basic tutorial and is not common like this taking apart.
Yes! I was wondering however if you can show me a points to electronic conversion.(as well as any recommended coils) Thanks!
thank u i believe
Thanks, this is interesting. The only thing I want to advise You is: to make the duration of showing tips longer. Thanks in forward
what is prolongs current ?And what is the function of it during the ignition coil as well as ignition system?
What is the advantage of the electronic ignition that still has the distributor points? Is it just more reliable due to not having the breaker any more?
It is computer operated. That is the computer fires the coil which ultimately fires the spark plug that is in need of the spark..Or it diverts the voltage to the spark plug of the cylinder which is at the end of its compression stage at exactly the right moment..which ultimately avoids misfires.
It saves time
Thanks
Hi Sir, do you know the ignition specification of a Toyota Hilux 2r 1968?
and what are the valve clearance? thanks from the Philippines
