Re: Ignition Capacitor Sign In

A capacitor is just a noise suppressor for the radio. Try a stereo installation shop.

Re: Ignition Capacitor Sign In

Hmmm? CDI was once (capacitor discharge ignition) standard on some small engines in place of points or in conjunction with points. That word was loosely used for "condensers" or very loosely used for "magneto" type ignitions.

I haven't heard of such by that name for ignition since "points" were the rule to either eliminate them or enhance spark. I did take some J.C. Witless set up of a 1969 vehicle that was supposed to double fuel economy (bull crap of course) just to have it out of the way.

My guess is for this vehicle ignition doesn't use a separate item named as such but just a guess,

Re: Ignition Capacitor Sign In

There is no capacitor in the ignition circuit.

Re: Ignition Capacitor Sign In

Yes - I don't know of such a thing for this but that alone for me would be no surprise.

milling machine : What is the problem you are trying to solve? If a NO SPARK problem that would be one thing. If erratic spark or random would be other things to chase down,

Re: Ignition Capacitor Sign In

The vehicle is running ok, I just had it on a scope ( I have a cheap analog scope I use ) all the readings seemed a little fuzzy and the only thing I found bad was the ignition capacitor or what Toyota calls a noise filter-I put it back on the scope with the filter removed and it seems to have cleared up the fuzzy type readings and actually seems to run better although it always ran good - I will try to go to some electronic store and see if I can get one although I already tried Radio Shack and they do not carry them and I cannot seem to find them on the internet

Re: Ignition Capacitor Sign In

That's because they really aren't needed any more. AM radios are better and CBs are pretty much gone.

Re: Ignition Capacitor Sign In

What were you using your scope to measure? You'll get noise in some of the circuits you check.

Re: Ignition Capacitor Sign In

Your checking a vane air flow meter with a scope? Which circuit of the vane air flow meter do you have your scope connected to? Are you checking at the vane air flow meter itself or at the ECU connector? How is your scope grounded? What are your scope settings?
