A lot of clutter will be displayed on the horizontal section of primary waveform if 
contact has poor grounding, as shown below figure 13-10.

Fig. 13-11 shows the fault of low-voltage waveform in electronic ignition system. 
The voltage does not rise during magnetizing, which indicates that the effect of 
limitation  of  the  circuit  failed  and  no  components  on  distributorless  ignition 
system can be adjusted. When this waveform is abnormal, you can only replace 
the ignition coils, igniter, ignition signal generator and cam position sensor, etc., 
one by one, to find out the faulty component or module.

The  secondary  waveform  is  also  affected  by  the  spark  plug,  the  combustion 
process, mixture gas composition, the engine thermal state of the ignition coil, 
etc., which is more complicated. The following lists a large number of measured 
secondary  faulty  waveform  for  reference.  Since  various  factors  lead  to  the
