ABSTRACT A capacitor discharge ignition system for a spark- ignition internal combustion engine. The ignition system includes an ignition coil having first and second primary windings, a secondary winding and a ferromagnetic core about which the windings are wound. A spark plug has electrodes which are spaced apart to form a spark gap which is connected in series with a first capacitor. The series-connected spark gap and first capacitor are connected across the secondary winding. A second capacitor is coupled to the first winding and a DC source of electrical energy is provided. First circuit means charge the second capacitor from the DC source and discharge this capacitor through the first primary winding in timed re- lation to operation of the engine. Second circuit means are provided for producing a fixed frequency oscillatory current in the second primary winding for a predetermined time interval subsequent to each discharge of the second capacitor through the first primary winding. The discharge of the second capacitor through the first primary winding and the subsequent supply of fixed frequency oscillatory current to the second primary winding causes ferroresonant oscillations in the secondary circuit of the ignition coil for at least a portion of the aforementioned predetermined time interval. The spark which occurs between the spark plug electrodes exists during the predetermined time interval and has a duration which may be varied as desired.
