<p>ENGINE SPARK TIMING SYSTEM WITH RETARD MEANS AND MINIMUM BURN TIMER In a spark timing system for a spark ignited internal combustion engine, means are provided for generating a series of alternating coil-on and coil-off signals in accordance with crankshaft rotation and one or more engine operating conditions, means are provided for normally passing each coil-on signal immediately to the spark coil to turn on current therethrough and means are provided for passing each coil-off signal to the spark coil to turn off current therethrough with a retard determined in accordance with an additional engine operating condition to generate a spark pulse retarded with respect to the normal spark timing. To ensure a minimum burn time for the spark plugs, means are provided to hold the spark coil in the off condition for a predetermined minimum burn time following each retarded coil-off signal, regardless of the possible appearance of a coil-on signal before the end of this minimum burn time.</p> |
