V 6 engine: generally speaking, based on the person sitting on the driver cab,
if the right side
cylinder numbers on the right side, from the front to the back
are as follows: 1, 3, 5; and the cylinder numbers on the left side, from the front
to the back are as follows: 2, 4, 6; then the ignition sequence is: 1-4-5-2-
3-6. If the cylinder numbers on the right side, from the front to the back are as
follows: 2, 4, 6; and cylinder numbers on the left side, from the front to the back
are as follows:1, 3, 5; then the ignition sequence is: 1-6-5-4-3-2.

The secondary waveform
A section is contact open period; B section is make contact period, which is the
magnetizing field of ignition coil.
