Abstract
An ignition system bypass unit for quick and easy connection to an electronic automobile ignition system having malfunctioning electronic components. The unit bypasses electronic ignition components to apply a string of pulses across the primary winding of the engine ignition coil. These pulses induce a corresponding string of high voltage pulses in the ignition coil secondary winding for distribution to the engine spark plugs to allow at least temporary engine operation.
