I am not familiar with it at all but I would surmise that crossfire induction
would be a condition where the current flowing through the plug wire would
generate a magnetic field that induces a voltage into a neighboring plug wire
causing that associated plug to fire also. This is the principle that
transformers and ignition coils work on.
