Abstract: A distributorless ignition system has an alternating current power source for providing power to fire the igniters. The alternating current power source is coupled through a capacitor to a plurality of ignition transformers, one transformer for each igniter. Each transformer has an electronic switch in its primary winding circuit initiated by independent logic means for each switch. A timer, driven by the engine, triggers one logic circuit at a time so that only one electronic switch and consequently one igniter is fired at such one time, maintaining the other logic circuits and electronic switches quiescent during such firing. The system has short lengths of high tension wires connecting each ignition transformer secondary winding to its respective igniter. Such system is devoid of any sparking distributor switch and consequently devoid of long lengths of high tension wires connecting the distributor to the igniters, thereby avoiding substantial amounts of electromagnetic radiation emanating from the long lengths of high tension wires. Such system produces high energy that serves to burn substantially all the fuel injected into the engine combustion compartment and consequently reduces contaminents expelled from the exhaust system.
