I was playing with a plug pack, that is the bit that fits on the spark plug from a Jeep motor, it appears to have the coil attached to it and the wiring harnes has just 2 terminals. What I was attemting to do was connect 12 volt to it and see if I could make a spark, it wouldent work,, so is there something else that would be required to make an individual pack spark on the work bench?.

Loved franc's take on the subject (and take-off of our regular wise contributor's grasp of English) but I do have sympathy for someone for whom English is not his native tongue. It is such a mishmash of Old English, French, Scandinavian, Latin and who knows how many other languages, that it must be devilishly hard to learn for one who grew up with the well-ordered German language. And in motoring we have all the differences between English and American terms for vehicle components and phrases. When I opened my U.S.-sourced workshop manual for my Honda I was faced with the term "complete tear-down" of the engine. Sounded a bit drastic to me. (Sorry, I am getting way off the topic, hope the originator has learned what he wanted.)

#12 have a read of manuals translated from Japanese to English for some REAL amusement. I guess the fence sitter Swissies can't make up their mind if they're German, French or Italian anyway so that just makes it harder.

I havent tried this yet but here goes my thinking now. Earth on the spark plug +12volt on the appropriate terminal and some form of voltage on the trigger and my idea might work.

Plug needs to be grounded, a 12v supply to one terminal of the coil and the other terminal is used to ground the coil, the process of opening the ground circuit is what causes the spark.

I am still trying to make a jeep grand cherokee plug pack (2 pin) work on the bench so it can be used in another application. I cant get a new plug to spark. Is there something I am missing? Do iI need a Capacitor? I earth the plug, apply 12 volt power to the harness and then presume the earth should trigger a spark, dose this seem right.
