ABSTRACT:
An ignition system is provided for an internal combustion engine that operates in two modes. In a first mode, the timing of the spark event is under electronic control. In a second mode, the timing of the spark event is fixed and synchronized to the mechanical rotation of the crankshaft of the engine. Under normal operating conditions, the timing of the spark event is electronically controlled. If the electrical system of the engine malfunctions, the ignition system defaults to the second mode in which ignition timing is mechanically controlled.
