I'm in the process of building an ignition enhancer for the basic Kettering ignition system. I've got the main parts built and have tested the system and it works extremely well. However, it's not very reliable; after extended use I am burning up components. Here is a diagram.
The diodes and capacitors are working swimmingly, not having any trouble. However, I believe the inverter is getting power surges from the secondary side of the system; after extended use the inverters quit working.
I realize that the filtering on the output of the inverter needs to be much more robust, and this is where my questions start.
In addition to the .001uF capacitors across the output, where/how can I include inductors to more effectively absorb/shunt the high voltage surges that I assume are getting back to the inverter??
