A ignition pulse sensor is an essential component in a car's ignition system. It is responsible for detecting the ignition pulses or signals that are generated by the ignition coil. The sensor is usually located near the distributor or crankshaft position sensor.

The main function of the ignition pulse sensor is to provide the engine control module (ECM) with accurate timing information. It detects the timing of the ignition pulses and sends this information to the ECM. The ECM then uses this data to determine the exact moment to fire the spark plugs, ensuring precise ignition timing. This is crucial for the overall performance and efficiency of the engine. Without the ignition pulse sensor, the engine may experience misfires, poor fuel efficiency, and even damage to various engine components.
