Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and assembly for conducting electrical current between a coil and a spark plug of an engine. The ignition wire utilized for this conduction of electrical current generally includes a plug terminal located at a first end of the ignition wire that is electrically connectable with a spark plug. In addition, the ignition wire includes a voltage source terminal disposed at a second end of the ignition wire opposite the first end. This voltage source terminal is generally electrically interconnectable with a voltage source of an engine such as a coil. In one embodiment, this ignition wire may be characterized as including a plurality of wires arranged as a cable. Further, one embodiment of the ignition wire may be said to be substantially non-stretchable. Still further, one embodiment may be designed to provide an electrical resistance of no more than about 4.0 ohms.

Abstract: A method and device for increasing the idling speed of an engine of a motor vehicle from a normal idle speed level to a higher preselected maximum idle speed level in response to a low output voltage from a power generating system of the engine and vehicle is disclosed for the purpose of preventing a severe discharge of a storage battery of the system to prevent disruption of engine ignition and reduced effectiveness of vehicle electrical components and to increase the service life of the battery and an electrical alternator of the system. The device can be operated in conjunction with or as a part of an conventional electronic control module (ECM) of the vehicle to take over control of the idle speed of the engine when a predetermined low output voltage of the system is sensed.
