Somebody explain the reason for 8 spark plugs in a 2.3L 4 cyl
I think they fire at slightly different times, hence the two distributors. Early Mazda Wankle engines had two plugs per rotor and they were referred to as "sacvenger" plugs. They spak a millisecond or two after the first plug to ensure a complete burn. At least that's what I remember reading in the specs. I guess this is sort of along the same lines.
