Abstract

The air-fuel mixture in each combustion chamber of a dual spark plug ignition engine is ignited with two spark plugs during normal engine operation, but is ignited with only one of the two spark plugs during high power output engine operation. The spark timing in the ignition with one spark plug is advanced relative to that in the ignition with two spark plugs.
