  2. OBD-II PIDs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs

    The third and fourth bytes are to be interpreted differently depending upon whether the engine is spark ignition (e.g. Otto or Wankel engines) or compression ignition (e.g. Diesel engines). In the second byte (B), bit 3 indicates the engine type and thus how to interpret bytes C and D, with 0 being spark (Otto or Wankel) and 1 (set) being ...

  3. MegaSquirt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MegaSquirt

    This is an extension of the base code, adding many of the much needed MS1/Extra features to the MS-II chip. Enhancements include wide support for OEM crank/cam wheels, wasted spark and COP ignition, closed loop idle, EAE, boost control, nitrous control and many other features. Latest test codes support 4 cyl sequential fuel.

  4. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.

  5. Contact breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_breaker

    A mechanism may be provided to slightly adjust timing to allow for varying load on the engine. Since these contacts operate frequently, they are subject to wear, causing erratic ignition of the engine. More recent engines use electronic means to trigger the spark, which eliminated contact wear and allows computer control of ignition timing.

  6. Rev limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rev_limiter

    The RPM level that results with the spark timing being arrested can be a constant level, or, with the proper ignition control modules, variable. Variable rate ignition modules can be adjusted quickly and easily to achieve the appropriate RPM limit for different situations, such as street racing, drag racing, road course racing and highway driving.

  7. Ford EDIS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_EDIS

    The Ford EDIS or Electronic Distributorless Ignition System is a computer-controlled ignition system developed by Ford that uses an ignition coil for each pair of cylinders (wasted spark). All the coils are placed in a single module called a coilpack.

    Here, the location and size of the data is specified. In turn, the tester specifies how large the data packets can be. 0x35 0x75 Request Upload The service "request upload" is almost identical to the service "Request Download". With this service, the software from the control unit is transferred to the tester. The location and size must be ...
