ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an ignition signal control apparatus and method for a distributorless ignition system of the type having a sensing circuit which generates at least one reference signal which may be used to periodically indicate when ignition spark plugs should be fired, and at least one identifier signal determinative of the engine's crank angle position to identify the spark plug firing sequence. One aspect of the invention includes detecting that a transition in the identifier signal has not occurred, and generating a replacement signal independent of the crank angle position, to select one or more of the spark plugs to fire.
