Not really. This is explained in the link I provided in a previous message.

Not really.

Precisely.

Well, 1 bar or 2 bar or 3 bar is nothing like the pressure at the end of the
compression stroke. The point is, this one gap is easy to cross and do not
consume too much current. Also, remember the spark is healthy since the coil
had well enough time to recover from the previous event. Last, I was trying
to keep things simple.
