Agenda

• Basic overview of ignition system


• Crank angle data vs non-encoder spark survey
• Ignition trace and spark trace
• Basic concept of Windrock Balance and Spark Report
• Spark survey report
- Ionization
- Arc Duration
- Arc Voltage
- Rise Time
- Arc Slope
- Ring Down Voltage
- No Arc, Voltage Problem
- Arc Flyback
• Examples
Basic Ignition Systems
Two Ways to Take Secondary Ignition Data

• In conjunction with an • Non-encoder data – Survey


encoder – Ignition Report Report
Windrock MD Software and
Analyzer Setup
Setup in Windrock MD for Crank-angle Spark
Suggested Spark Timing
Spark Survey setup on the Analyzer
Setup for Non-encoder Spark Survey and Balancing
Encoder Based 2nd Ignition with Power Curve
Events Overlaid on Power Curve and Ignition

Remember the suggested spark


timing was 357 After TDC
Non-encoder Spark Trace
Example of reverse polarity
Multi-Strike System
Encoder based Multi Strike setup
Multi Strike Spark Survey Setup
Spark Trace of Multi-spark System
Ignition Report
Different Type of Reports

Balance (non-encoder)
Ignition (crank based)
Spark Survey (non-encoder)

THE END
An example of high resistence

Your trace below is classic positive arc slope indicating pre-gap


issues or high resistance in the connections due to looseness or
corrosion. With decent ring down patterns if it is corrosion I have
seen it inside of the plug wire insulation at the coil end of the wire.
