Lets note that those plugs are feed with highz cables, and the igniton coil 
isent tuned
Also, the spark itself is compleatly contained inside a grounded object 
(the motor) and the control computer KNOWS theres noise then and mabey goes 
on standby, or at least ignores its input readings that might be affected
