  • Patent number: 11085402
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an engine having a pre-chamber ignition system. In one example, a method may include adjusting a valve coupled between a pre-chamber of an engine cylinder and a main chamber of the engine cylinder between a fully open position and a fully closed position based on whether pre-chamber ignition is desired or direct spark ignition is desired. In this way, the engine may be operated with direct spark ignition during conditions when pre-chamber combustion has reduced stability without including additional spark plugs and air injectors.
