GM Ignition Parts
Most GM drivers don't spend much time thinking about their ignition. After all, it seems pretty simple. You turn the key, or press the button if you have auto-start, and everything kicks right in. However, there's a lot more to it than that.
The Ignition Process
You do your part inside the cabin, either turning the key or pushing that start button. That tells the battery, starter solenoid, and ignition coil to send an electric charge to the spark plugs in the engine's cylinder head. The plugs collect that charge and use it to ignite the air/fuel mix inside the combustion chamber. Your starter motor cranks, pistons begin to pump, and your engine roars to life.
How to Tell if Your Ignition May be Failing
Even the best ignition parts, like the factory ones in your GM vehicle, don't last forever. If you begin to have signs like the following, we suggest connecting a code reader and verifying that your ignition is at fault.
- Flickering dashboard lights
- Issues when it comes to starting your vehicle
- Starter motor doesn't engage
- Unable to turn the ignition key
If your inspection reveals a problem with the ignition, you'll want to replace the bad part as soon as possible.
