Today I am going to share a very useful and clever circuit diagram sent to me by Mr. August Peterson. This circuit is a non-contact HT spark tester and timing light tool. It is specially designed for modern cars where checking for a spark is very difficult and dangerous for the car electronics. Why Mr. […]

Converting Wasted Spark Ignition to Sequential Spark, for High Efficiency Combustion
In this post I have explained a simple method of converting a wasted spark type ignition system in an automobile, into an enhanced, sequential spark, 6 cylinder engine type ignition system. The idea was requested by Mr. Brenton, as given below: Main Requirements I was looking through the car and motorcycle section but couldn’t find […]
Adding a PWM Multi-spark to Automobile Ignition Circuit
The post investigates a simple 2 pin oscillator circuit which may be inserted between the pickup coil and the CDI unit of a vehicle for achieving an induced multi trigger input in response to each signal from the pickup coil coil, this in turn is expected to enhance the sparking ability of the CDI coil. […]
Adjustable CDI Spark Advance/Retard Circuit
In this post we’ll learn about a simple circuit which allows a manual adjust feature for the spark timing of a motorcycle’s CDI either to achieve an advance ignition, retarded ignition or simply a normal timed ignitions. After a comprehensive study regarding the subject I was apparently successful in designing this circuit which can be […]
Multi-spark CDI Circuit
In this post I have explained an enhanced multi-spark CDI circuit which is universally suited for all types of automobiles. The unit can be built at home and installed in a particular vehicle for achieving greater speed to fuel efficiency. The Circuit Concept The following diagram illustrates an enhanced version of a multi-spark CDI circuit. […]
