My Lightspeed Plasma III is installed and wired except for connecting the Primary Ignition Wires (Section 2.3) to the coils. I've read Chapter 5.1 Phasing and that makes perfect sense. Looking forward to that.
I understand that on Plasma III systems (RG400) that the shield is not a ground.
I understand the timing magnets on the ring gear and their interaction with the sensor.
I don't understand the following from Section 2.3 "Polarity at the coils does not matter". The coils have a +/- on them. For sake of discussion let's talk about the coil that feeds #1 and #2 cylinders. If I wire the RG400 one way and the engine runs then if polarity doesn't matter I can switch the leads on that coil and engine will also run?
Doesn't the ignition have to know which lead (center or shield) of the RG400 goes to cyl #1 to fire it in compression and wait 180 degrees to fire #2. Does the ignition fire #1 and #2 at the same time with #1 in compression and #2 in exhaust? I can't envision it doing that but maybe it does.
Need help in understanding this part of the ignition.
Thanks,
Jerry
