I wonder if the individual setting it up installed sufficient bypass capacitance...

It requires less than 1 mA to the igniter to fire the coil, so a little noise could definitely cause that.

How do you pop an engine by auto-igniting while cranking?

It's happening to some RX8 guys that can't adjust the dwell time.

It's a GM product, I'm obliged to have a poor opinion of them

LS1
The Quicksilvers are a stout coil. They light off some nasty mixes. I want to get Peters CDI kit and put them against the best of the inductives in a non water injected, lower RPM envirornment

Anyway, If you want a set to test, I may be able to get you one, but I will have to talk to my buddy (who bought the other 4) as to when he will need his.[/QUOTE]

Screw using the coil as inductor, it works heaps better as a step up transformer (CD) system.

There are stacks of DIY CD systems (youtube it) you'll see tons of video's of cunts who have made there own systems. Seems allot less trouble than frying coils using excessive charge times in the hope of initiating a suitable spark.

No doubt in my mind that CD gives a far better spark after I personally documented the on road performance improvement that also backed up the increased power recording too.

This week I will get around to scanning that Mazda article on CD ignitions V's inductive.
