lost spark?
My car has a ignition system where 2 coils provide spark for a 4 cylinder engine. So one plug gets fired when the piston is at the botom and as result there is no ignition there.
If this engine can be seen as 2, 4 cylinder engines combined?
Then one coil could fire 4 plugs at once and the other coil the other 4? This assumes 2 cyclinders fire at the same time and there are 2 other cylinders at 180 deg.
To simplistic or might work?
