Wasted Spark Ignition systems
Wasted Spark Ignition systems
(OP)
Hi, was wondering if you could clear something up for me.
I'm happy with how wasted spark works when the circuit is complete.
However, when it goes open circuit on one plug/lead is it true to say the the current WILL find its way back to the coil by any means possible. Even if that means "Tracking" from the Low tension side through the magnetic field and onto the HT side?
When I scoped the working plug/lead I saw what looked like pressure fluctuations in the coil, is this right?
Any help would be much appreciated.

If you only have one plug connected and remove the cable - I guess that your description is as good as anyone else's. The energy has to be wasyed somewhere, usually where it finds it way to ground most easily.
