Just a quick comment, IMHO $100 a year to get the SAE Automotive
Engineering magazine and to be able to search the technical paper
listing archives on line is CHEAP! compared to the time you will spend
trying to figure out this stuff on your own. Best $100 you will ever
spend.....

Here are some SAE Technical papers that came up during a quick search on
SAAB, these technical papers can often be found on microfiche in most
university libraries or you can order them directly from SAE at
412-776-4970 or go to their web site

There are a lot of other articles on ionization measurements that I can
