Hey

Just wondering if the ECU controls the dwell or the coils/built in ignitors control it on the xr6t.

Cheers

my thoughts are that the ECU will do the dwell control... most COP type coils need external dwell control. id say around 2.5ms

i had a look at ba coils today, they have only two wires, which leads me to beleive the ecu has built in ignitor and does dwell control

Forgive my stupidity, but what's dwell control and what does it do?

dwell is the time that the primary coil windings are earthed to charge the coil, when the primary coil earth is disconnected the magnetic field collapses and forms a high voltage buildup in the secondary windings...

So does that mean the coils have built in ignitors?

i dont beleive they do, i tink the ford ecu has the ignitors... otherwise they would be 3 wire coils. I could be wrong though

Do you know if there is any truth to this:

wolfV500 manual wrote:
How to determine if you have Coil On Plug or Coil On Plug with Internal Coil Igniter
Coil On Plug without an Internal Coil Igniter will have a resistance across two of the pins on the connector of between approximately 0.5 Ohms and 1.0 Ohm. Whereas Coil On Plug with Internal Coil Igniter will not have such a low resistance between any two pins on the coil connector.

that sounds right.. since you will not have a direct connection to the coil primary circuit from the coil pins. you will see about 1.2k ohms and the other reading will be anything above this, i think the ones on the honda outbaord engine i was playing with the other day were 1.2k and 5k

with no ignitor you will see primary coil resistance of just a few ohms, .5-3ohms

also, most built in ignitor coils will have 3 wires, - + and trigger, whereas no ingitor will just have + and switching ground pulse
