ABSTRACT:
An engine generating two or more ignition sparks by the same spark plug, which can avoid a torque reduction caused by misfire of main ignition, can start firing and burning at proper timing depending on operating conditions, and can reduce misfires. A novel controller and a novel ignition coil adapted for realizing that engine are also provided. One spark plug and at least one ignition coil are provided per cylinder. When performing a plurality of ignitions during the compression stroke in the cylinder, before main ignition to start firing and burning at proper timing depending on operating conditions of the engine, preliminary pre-ignition is performed to form a fire seed around the spark plug. The main ignition is then performed to cause main burning. Misfire is avoided, appropriate torque can be generated, and combustion stability can be improved.
