Sounds like it would take some serious DSP horsepower in order to interpret
the waveforms you were seeing. In some flourescent lamp applications, they
can tell various things about the gas pressure, type, etc. by analyzing
the current waveform produced by the drive circuit. It could be a logical
progression to apply the same technology to the automotive world. 

It would take a good deal of testing to find out what the waveform would look
like under different conditions. Seems technically feasable, though.
