Matt Cramer Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 This is simply for noise suppression. A bad condensor would cause resets and noisy sensor readings but not kill the spark. It would also make for a noisy radio - that is the original reason they were installed back when cars had no digital electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Cramer Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 It won't stop you from getting a spark, but the Megasquirt generally doesn't like it. The electrical noise interferes with the Megasquirt's sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
