You have a car with an HT lead? How very quaint.

How else do you think the spark plug operates?Â* (Diesels excepted)

You've not looked at an engine made in the last 20 years or so?

yep. coil pack, HT leads...

So you think removing one HT lead would stop it running? You
probably do.

no, but swapping two might work



Not very likely, many engines just spark on all cylinders at the
same time. Only one is actually in a state where it will ignite.

Oh dear.



You need to learn more.
Try

https://www.popularmechanics.com/car.../a603/2593431/

for how it works.

You are utterly clueless and illiterate.

That's good coming from a brexiteer.
Just how much of a hypocrite are you?


Try reading part that says "uses a single coil to fire a pair of
cylinders".

A four cylinder will have two coils, etc, etc more for more cylinders.

Perhaps you run a 2 cylinder car and so can be excused for the mistake.



So?
What I said was correct as I didn't specify how many cylinders.
I didn't even say it was four stroke.
But you can't even read a two line posting.
