Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve fuel consumption performance by employing a DC-DC converter to function high voltage generating means in an igniter for augmenting the firing energy only under idling state. CONSTITUTION:A frequency-voltage converter 10 will convert the frequency of signal from a transistor igniter 5 into voltage while a comparator 11 will compare the referential level corresponding to the engine idling speed with said voltage to feed a gate signal to a gate 13. Consequently DC-DC converter 7 will function only when the engine is idling while stop automatically upon increase of engine rotation. As a result, useless power consumption is eliminated to further improve the fuel consumption performance.
