III. Connection to the Engine and Initial Setup

The Device’s wire works like an antenna catching ignition impulses sent to a spark 

plug. Usually you need to wrap the wire 3-5 times around the spark plug wire, and fix 

the loops with tape (we recommend a tape rated for automotive use). More turns make 

the signal stronger, but it makes noise stronger too.

Figure 1. A – signal is good, B – signal is over amplified, C – signal is too weak.

Do not electrically connect Device’s wire.
