I am trying to track down some misfire issues and I have a few questions about the 2.1 WBX ignition system. It seems quite conventional, the ECU pulses the coil, the spark goes to the distributor and then on to the plugs. I believe the plug wires are solid core and the RF suppression is done through a metal shielded resistor/shroud that connects to the plugs. This seems rather complex, considering that most vehicles use resistive wires and rubber boots/connectors on the plugs. So what would happen If I got a set of conventionalš wires and hooked them up without the metal spark plug connectors? I may be missing something quite important. Puzzled Dave 86 Westy |
