New Car Ignition Module in Hamilton
What is the ignition module?
The ignition module (also known as the ignitor) is an important part of your car’s ignition system. It is responsible for sending a signal to the ignition coils, causing the coils to fire and the spark plugs to ignite the air/fuel mixture in your engine.
Proper functionality of the ignition module is important to the operating of your vehicle. If the module fails, your spark plugs may be unable to create combustion in your engine. This can prevent your car from starting or cause performance issues.

Symptoms of a faulty ignition module/igniter:
Misfiring while driving – A misfire occurs when your car’s engine misses a process in its combustion cycle, causing unburnt fuel to exit your car through the exhaust. Since a faulty ignition module can affect the combustion process, it can cause misfires to occur much more frequently.
Signs of misfires occurring include:
- A loss of power
- Car shaking/vibrating at low revs
- A popping sound from the exhaust
- Black smoke coming from the exhaust
Car not starting – A broken ignition module can prevent the car from starting at all. This happens when no power is sent from the ignition module to the ignition coil. When the keys are turned, you will hear the engine cranking but it won’t be able to run with a failed ignition module / igniter.
Increased fuel consumption – When fuel is not being ignited properly, it will exit through your exhaust and go to waste. This will cause your car to use more fuel than it should.
Check engine light on – When your engine sensors detect that your engine isn’t igniting fuel properly, the check engine light may turn on.
