Background of <strong>Ion</strong> <strong>Sensing</strong>• Being studied for automotive byresearchers before 1980 for A/F ratio,<strong>cylinder</strong> pressure estimation• <strong>In</strong>stalled in-<strong>cylinder</strong> or outside <strong>cylinder</strong>close to the exhaust port• Used on SAAB Direct-IgnitionTM systemsince 1987 and later on SAAB Trionicsystem (by Mecel)• Originally for <strong>cylinder</strong> synchronizationand pre-ignition detection• Knock and misfire detection wereintroduced in 1992 on SAAB (by Mecel)• <strong>In</strong>-<strong>cylinder</strong> detection is used - each<strong>cylinder</strong>
