Thasnk you for your explaination. I was involved in the first attempt by General Motors to introduce a Capacitive Discharge ignition system in the late 1960's and even attended some training sessions at their technician training center in Memphis, Tennessee. GM abandoned the idea for reasons of the system being too expensive and unreliable for production vehicles, choosing the much simpler and economically-produced HEI system instead. They produced untold millions of them, with a great deal of success. CD systems haven't gotten much better in the 40-something years since then. They're still an expensive and unnecessarily complicated method of lighting off the fuel charge in a cylinder. Race applications, maybe. Street use, no way!
