Abstract
An ignition system for a combustion engine, includes a combustor having an igniter configured to receive a series of electrical current pulses, and, responsive to each electrical pulse, to generate a spark. A sensor is configured to detect each electrical pulse to provide a signal indicative of the electrical pulse to a controller. The controller is configured to determine, prior to an injection of a fuel into the combustor, a spark rate of the igniter, determine whether the spark rate satisfies a spark rate threshold, and in response to a determination that the spark rate satisfies the spark rate threshold, initiate an injection of the fuel into the combustor.
