Working
Ignition Switch ON Engine is cranked
Cranking of engine opens and closes the contact breaker
through CAM
Current - Battery to contact breaker points primary winding

Builds the magnetic field in the primary winding of the coil
Primary current at peak contact breaker points open by cam
Magnetic field sets up in the primary winding is collapsed
High voltage (15000 V) generated at secondary winding

Advantages
No wear good life
Periodic adjustment of engine timing is not required
Very accurate control of timing

Ignition Timing
Ignition is timed
So it occurs just before piston reaches top of compression stroke
Ignition timing variation
Computer determines best ignition timing setting
Advanced or retarded in response to engine speed and load
changes, altitude, and engine temperature
Intake manifold vacuum senses engine load
KNOCK SENSOR
V = 0 --- No knock
V = 1 --- knock detection

One Plug Fires Backwards
Wasted Spark
Coil-on-plug (COP) ignition uses one ignition coil for each spark plug.
This system is also called coil-by-plug, coil-near plug, or coil-overplug ignition
ION-SENSING IGNITION
Ignition timing refers to when the spark plug fires in relation to piston
position.
The time when the spark occurs depends on engine speed, and
therefore must be advanced (spark plugs fire) as the engine rotates
faster.
