That current bounce looks a bit odd. It appears to stop/slow down the coil collapse.

Symptoms = poor driveability, If you zoom right in you can see its not got a good vertical switch off line, it switches off then on then off again + we've only got spark duratiton of 380us

definitely should have looked closer before responding, sorry

I would agree with your assessment, it does look like a bad driver. I've never seen anything like that before.

Did you create that current probe you were using yourself ?

Did you edit the look up table too ?
