Need help with simple relay time delay circuit

Jun 08, 2006 1 Replies

Could some of you give me some input. This is a project on my boat.I have a momentary micro switch on my shifter linkgage that when triped it grounds the neg. side of the ignition coil which stumbles the engine long enough to shift out of gear. The switch when tripped goes to ground.I need to build a simple circuit to hold the coil to ground for 1 to 2 secs to give it more time



to shift. I was thinking of using a 12 volt relay with the switch wired to to the



ground of the relay and a cap on the positive side of the relay to delay the relay. Thinks for any ideas.



or perhaps a Time Delay Relay...
