Volvo Ignition Parts

What ignitions do is help vehicles start properly, like the day they were driven home from the dealership. How they work starts with the turn of a key in its lock cylinder. An ignition switch under the hood activates; the car battery and several other ignition parts, including a starter motor, an ignition coil, and a starter solenoid, then get to work.

Together, they produce an electric charge (a "spark") and send it to the spark plugs. The plugs' leads capture it and it's used to combust the mix of air and gas in the engine. The vehicle then starts and, with some help from the alternator, stays running the way it should.

Are you having problems starting, though? It can indicate a bad ignition. If you've got a code reader, plug it in and do an inspection. More importantly, keep an eye out for the following signs:

• Stalling out while driving
• Flickering dashboard lights and displays while driving
• Being unable to turn your key (often caused by excessive ignition cylinder wear)
• No starter motor activity (when a dead battery isn't otherwise the cause)
• Being unable to start at all (often caused by corroded electrical circuitry)

If you see any, you may need to replace some ignition parts, if not the entire ignition.
