A vehicle's ignition system is designed to ignite a fuel-air mixture and plays an important role in how the vehicle functions.

When your car will not start, it can be a heartbreaking experience. It often seems this only ever happens when you have somewhere to be in a hurry. When you have to get back on the road or back on with your day, you need a mechanic in Blackwood you can trust. A vehicle's ignition system is designed to ignite a fuel-air mixture.

Without the ignition system the vehicle simply will not start. When you are faced with an issue with a car’s ignition system you should turn to Blackwood Dyno Tune & Service for the following reasons:

Our customers visit us for a range of reasons, from an alternator which will not catch to a car which will not start. There are several things which can go wrong with the ignition system such as:

• Wear and Tear: The battery, spark plugs, distributor cap and wires will not last forever. Replacement of these items at regular intervals prevents larger ignition issues.
• Weak Ignition: When spark plugs need to be replaced it is usually not all of them at once. A misfire in one or more sparkplugs will cause a weak start-up of the car and is an indication that a service may be needed soon.
• Battery Issues: A battery can wear out or its terminals become corroded. We have the equipment to clean and test batteries or can replace them as needed.
• Coil Wire is Frayed: When the charge is not carried to the spark plugs, the ignition fails to catch and the coil wire must be replaced.

There are a few warning signs that will indicate your ignition system needs a repair. If you recognise your vehicle is not starting well or it's not running smooth, talk to Blackwood Dyno Tune & Service. We will examine the following:

• Your ignition coils - These often short circuit and cause hard starting, rough idle or no power.
• Your distributor cap - These also wear out or crack causing a short, leading to rough idle, no power or hard starting.
• Your spark plugs - A critical component that can wear out and must be changed at regular intervals. Worn or damaged spark plugs can cause ignition coil failure.
• Your alternator - It could simply not be charging well.
