ABSTRACT:
An ignition synchronization system and method of using the same are provided for the ignition systems of internal combustion engines. The system retains all of the parts of the vehicle's original ignition system. The system adds a new ignition device having a new spark energy generating coil. In addition, a spark energy signal converter is also provided. The spark energy signal converter and the new ignition device are connected in series, respectively, between the original coil and the vehicle's original elements for distributing the spark energy. The firing signal from the vehicle's electrical system triggers the original coil to generate a spark energy pulse. The spark energy signal converter absorbs the spark energy from the original coil and generates a signal indicating that the original coil pulsed. The converter, in turn, sends a firing signal to the new ignition system, which generates spark energy for the spark plug. The disclosed invention allows the use of any aftermarket ignition devices with any vehicle electrical system without the need to rewire the vehicles's electrical connections. Nor does the use of the disclosed invention affect any of the vehicle's subsystems that rely upon signals from the original ignition system.
