Yes, it does. The pickup coil creates an AC signal that looks like this:

Smog Fighter

As you can see, the voltage slopes upward as the metal "point" swings toward the pickup

coil. Then the voltage reverses immediatly, then swings back up to zero.

It is at the point of voltage reversal, when the voltage passes zero, that the ignitor opens

the ground circuit and "fires" the coil.

When the polarity is reversed, the sharpness of the transition is lost and the accuracy of the

timing is lost.

ah ok. good to know
