We wish a Happy New Year to all our customers! Here is your latest Automotive Diagnostics update.

1.  New Case Study: Ford Focus – Hard Starting

This month we have an interesting case study for you, written by a real PicoScope user who has kindly offered to share his diagnostic knowledge.

Ford Focus – Hard Starting. A 2003 Ford Focus 1800 TDCI Duratorq came in with a hard start issue from cold. Follow the story as the problem was examined using a Pico oscilloscope.
