Rotor Head: Vital for Ignition Performance
The rotor head is an indispensable component within the ignition system of a vehicle. Its primary responsibility is to distribute high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plugs, ensuring each cylinder ignites at the precise moment required. This synchronization is crucial for optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and the reduction of emissions.
Functionality of the Rotor Head
Positioned within the distributor, the rotor head rotates in sync with the engine's camshaft. As it turns, it passes electrical current to the spark plug wires, which then deliver the spark to ignite the air/fuel mixture in the engine’s cylinders. This continual process maintains the smooth running of the engine, providing power and drive to your vehicle.
Consequences of a Faulty Rotor Head
If the rotor head malfunctions or is damaged, the ignition process becomes erratic or may entirely fail. Symptoms of a failing rotor head include engine misfires, starting difficulties, decreased fuel efficiency, and increased emissions. Prolonged use of a defective rotor head can lead to more severe engine damage, resulting in costly repairs.
