What is an Air Filter?
Air filters are designed to remove particulate matter from air that enters an engine’s intake system or the cabin of a vehicle.

What is an Intake System?
An intake system is made up of all the component parts that help meter, filter, and deliver air to an internal combustion engine.
What is an Ignition Module?
An ignition module is a solid state component in breakerless ignition systems that activates the ignition coil.
What are Spark Plug Wires?
Spark plug wires are insulated high tension leads that connect each spark plug to the distributor cap (or directly to coil packs.)
What is a Distributor Rotor?
A distributor rotor is the moving component inside a distributor cap that provides a connection between the ignition coil and the spark plugs.
What is a Distributor Cap?
Distributor caps perform two important functions, as they provide both a protective cover for the distributor (and internal components like the rotor and, in some cases, points), and also help route spark to the spark plugs.
What is a Distributor?
Distributors perform two vital functions in spark ignition systems: routing high voltage pulses and activating those pulses at just the right time.
What is an Ignition Coil?
In battery-and-coil ignition systems, the coil is the component that generates high enough pulses of voltage to jump the spark plug gaps and ignite the air/fuel mixture.
What is an Ignition System?
An automotive ignition system is the set of components and parts that are responsible for igniting the air/fuel mixture within the combustion chambers of an internal combustion engine.
What is a Spark Plug?
Spark plugs are designed to ignite the air/fuel mixture in spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
