Secondary ignition pickup (capacitive with BNC)

Typical Uses

While HT leads would appear to be components from the past, the secondary ignition pickup lead is far from redundant. We have relied on these devices to obtain critical secondary ignition information for years, assisting with diagnosis surrounding misfires and emission failures. With the relentless introduction of COP devices there remains the need to connect between a COP unit and spark plug using the MI074 in conjunction with the TA037 for hands-free intermittent misfire detection under road-test conditions. Here we can monitor secondary ignition events long after the coil has been switched off, so revealing the activity in each cylinder under true operating conditions.

Typical examples of use: 

• Confirmation of secondary ignition events
• Can be applied to a variety of HT ignition systems, conventional, wasted spark, COP and cartridge-style ignition.
• Hands-free misfire detection (unlike the COP/Signal probe)
• HT integrity tests
• Confirmation of coil on plug serviceability under load
