At one plug wire, the spark frequency will be cranking RPM divided by 12. At 200 RPM cranking, you'd see 17 sparks per minute or one every 3 seconds or so. aarcuda69062 _____________________________________________________
yer sofullofsht.......... i can smell you from here .... do me a favor......count to 3......then think about that remark as you watch yer ceiling fan go around in cirlces. Marsh Monster _____________________________________________________
cuda's math sounds okay to me, if it is a 6-cylinder engine. What different result does your calculation show? Rodan. ______________________________________________________
Every plug fires on every second revolution. Cranking RPM divided by 2. Steve Austin _______________________________________________________
Yup, I pooched the math. aarcuda69062 _______________________________________________________
Explain how you're wrong? .. it's a distributor-equipped V6 which fires fire one plug wire once every twelve crank revolutions. dividing crank revolutions by 12 sounds good to me. Comboverfish _______________________________________________________
I pooched it too. It doesn't matter how many cylinders the engine has. The spark rate for a single wire is:
200 Rev/Min x 1 Spark/2 Rev = 100 Sparks/Min = 1.667 Sparks/Sec. This inverts to 0.6 Seconds per Spark.
