General information (Opel Vectra A)

The main function of the ignition system is to create a spark in each of the engine cylinders at the right moment, igniting the fuel-air mixture. In the ignition coil, the battery voltage (12 V) increases to 25,000-30,000 V.

Almost all engines used in Opel Vectra cars are equipped with an electronic ignition system. Depending on the engine power, different systems are used:



When working with an electronic ignition system, it is necessary to observe safety measures, which will prevent injury to people and damage to the ignition system. The electronic ignition system consists of a contactless pulse sensor, an ignition distributor with a rotor, an ignition coil, a computer and spark plugs. All elements of the system have stable characteristics, which eliminates the possibility of spontaneous misalignment (initial ignition timing offsets).
