A Better Understanding of Your Vehicle’s High Tension Leads
Custom ignition leads are Formula Power’s speciality. You might be in need of a bit of guidance when it comes to your car’s ignition leads. Let’s take a look under your vehicle’s hood. At a quick glance, the wires seem unassuming and might be misguided to just how complex their function is. Inside the engine compartment, where temperatures reach up to 200°C and electronic ignition systems are producing high voltages of up to 40,000V, they must be able to rise to the toughest of technical challenges. A simplified explanation of the function of the ignition leads goes something like the following; Ignition leads must conduct the necessary voltage to the spark plug with minimal voltage loss. Due to this connection to the spark plugs, they are sometimes also referred to as spark plug leads. The subsequent spark from the wire ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of your engine. The process starts with the ignition coil, which transfers low-voltage power into extremely high voltage.
Recognizing Faulty Ignition Leads In Your Vehicles
Due to the nature of the spark plug leads, they are not able to rest while the engine is running. Over time, it is normal for the ignition wires to become brittle, crack or breakdown. This is especially true when using lower quality ignition leads or HT leads. A loss of voltage will occur, which will subsequently lead to a weak or non-existent spark. This can cause the failure of the fuel in your engine’s cylinder to ignite. Depending on how many of your leads are bad, your vehicle will either run poorly or not at all. Since heat and mileage are enemies to your vehicle’s ignition wires and coils, replacing the spark plugs along with the ignition leads, will keep your engine running at peak performance. If you notice weak acceleration, poor ignition or misfires in your vehicle, it may be time to replace your ignition leads.
Formula Power, your trusted source for all makes and models custom ignition leads
Investing in high quality, high performance ignition leads will allow your vehicle’s performance to flourish. Our Formula Power 10mm HT high performance leads are manufactured to professional racing quality. Our top quality cable cores are imported from the USA and have a kevlar centre, wound by 70 stainless steel windings per millimetre. They can carry up to 90,000 volts with an engine temperature of up to 400°C. Our extreme insulation property is well in excess of 50KV. Due to the very low resistance, the spark is of excellent quality. We make use of EPDM silicone inner insulation, with high temperature silicone plug boots that come with grip ribs. The specific OHM resistance makes for a hotter spark at plug. They are also heat, oil, ozone and fuel resistant.
Our ignition leads are manufactured in England and can be shipped worldwide. We regularly ship products to France, Italy, The Netherlands and the UK. We can supply anyone who needs performance HT leads!
