On the 1.9l it's a negative-going pulse to ground, starting at about six volts. Fast fall time, slow rise time. Duration around 10 ms at idle, proportionately less at speed. Leading edge corresponds to each spark initiation except when the idle stabilizer is messing with the timing. I would expect similar electrical characteristics on the 2.1l, but with a fixed timing relationship to the crank since there's no advance mechanism in the 2.1l distributor. david -- David Beierl - Providence RI USA -- http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation" |
