1987 Buick LeSabre, Ignition - Secondary Waveform
Posted to the Waveform Library on 8/27/2001

The long spark time for the #3 plug was caused by the #6 coil tower not firing. Since there was no voltage being used from the #6 coil tower, there was extra voltage left over to maintain a longer spark line.
