How Ignition Coils And Plugs Find The Path Of Least Resistance
No matter if it is the secondary or primary side of the coil, inspecting the grounds should be one of the first tests.
Performance Spark Advance: Controlling Ignition Timing Delays
Ignition delay occurs during the time that it takes to fully ignite the mixture with a spark plug.
Diagnosing Secondary Ignition Problems
Kilovolt demand can vary widely according to air/fuel ratio, running compression and spark timing.

Scoping Ignition Waveforms
The secret to being able to capture and analyze secondary ignition waveforms is understanding what is happening in the coil and at the spark plug and how the scope measures and graphs the voltages and ignition event.
VIDEO: Measuring Dwell In The Ignition System
A coil takes a finite amount of time to build up this charge. This is the dwell time, normally defined as the camshaft’s degree of rotation, during which the voltage flows through and charges the primary side of the coil.

By performing these easy checks, you can determine if the spark plug wires are the problem or it is another component in the ignition system or on the engine.
