1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SE, Ignition Waveform
Posted to the Waveform Library on 12/18/2012

Primary ignition pattern. No spark burn line, trace goes to ground after ionizing gap. The ICU is bad. This would only occur while cranking, if the engine started it would stay running. The system would fire a spark tester.
