Abstract: The invention is a method for controlling ignition parameters of a spark plug (16) for an internal-combustion engine whose ignition is controlled by an engine control calculator, with the spark plug receiving a high voltage (U_HT) and a current (I_HT) from an ignition emulator (E). The method establishes a target current and/or voltage values (Ucible_HT, Ucible_Boost, Icible_HT, Icible_Boost) to obtain the desired electric arc at the spark plug electrodes, stores the target values in a parametering unit (32), measuring at regular intervals, after an ignition command by the calculator, at least one of a voltage (U_HT, U_Boost, U_Batt) and current (I_HT, I_Boost) parameter coming from the emulator, comparing the parameters with the target values, and when variation occur between the measured parameters and the target values, adjusting the parameters to reach the target values for controlling the ignition parameters of a spark plug for an internal-combustion engine.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is an ignition coil, of the type intended to be mounted on a spark plug for the individual electrical supply of this spark plug, comprising an internal secondary winding (2), an external primary winding, a flux return shell (9) and a casing (4). According to the invention, the said casing (4) surrounds only the secondary winding, the primary winding being wound onto the casing, on the outside of the latter; and being itself surrounded by the flux return shell.
