    摘要: The present invention relates to apparatus for scheduling the ignition sparks for a spark ignition internal combustion engine. An ignition system for a spark ignition engine, includes a device for generating a series of pulses (12) upon each revolution of a crankshaft (1) and a device (8,118) for identifying pulses in the series relative to a top dead center position (TDC) for the engine, one or more ignition coils and a device to charge a coil and then to discharge the coil to generate an ignition spark at a desired spark angle (54) relative to the top dead center position (TDC). The ignition system identifies a first particular pulse (60) occurring after the charging starts and before the discharging begins, and calculates a first interval (I.sub.D) from the first particular pulse (60) so that the discharging happens proximate the desired spark angle (54).

    摘要: The present invention relates to the monitoring of current drawn by an ignition coil for a spark ignition engine, and in particular to circuitry and a method for detecting a malfunction in the charging of an ignition coil or its associated drive circuitry. The electronic circuit comprises: circuitry to measure the voltage of a battery (VB) for charging the coil; software (52) to determine according to the measured battery voltage (VB) a nominal dwell time (TC) for charging fully the coil prior to discharge of the coil; circuitry (32,34) to measure an amount of current drawn by the coil over a time less than the time taken to charge fully the coil; software (36) to extrapolate from the measured current a calculated expected dwell time TD to charge fully the coil; and a device to indicate an error condition (44,62,64,66,68) if the difference (44) between the expected (TD) and nominal (TC) dwell times is beyond a predetermined error limit (58,60).
